1st Crusade

So much has already been written against the crusades that part of it has been suggested during the centuries to otherwise renowned historians. For these reasons, there is sometimes a historical paradox that while in Central Asia they usually respect their heroic ancestors, Europe tends to throw all possible dirt on its ancestors. That is why it is very important to understand this topic correctly, and that is why we will address it in this article as well.

Albrecht von Wallenstein

Albrecht Wenzel Eusebius von Wallenstein, also von Waldstein, was a Bohemian military leader and statesman who fought on the Catholic side during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). His successful martial career made him one of the richest and most influential men in the Holy Roman Empire by the time of his death.

Boleslav I.

On July 15, 2002, it was 1030 years since the death of the Czech prince Boleslav I.
Boleslav I. is for me the most important politician of the Czech state, due to the fact that thanks to his political work we were not met by the fate of the Elbe Slavs (exterminated by the Germans) or the fate of the Danube Slavs (exterminated by the Hungarians). Boleslav I. is therefore actually the father of the Czech state and nation.

Brandenburg-New Mark

You will surely wonder how the Czech nation has a historical relationship with Brandenburg, but it is so. After all, Brandenburg was in its essence part of the Czech state for longer than Subcarpathian Russia was part of Czechoslovakia and only slightly less than Slovakia.

Central Eastern Europe

Central and Eastern Europe, that is what I would call the part of Europe where in the years 1852-1918 the legal, monetary, economic and customs union of two states, namely the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was located. This union ended with the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of 1918 after the First World War, although this union lasted legally until 1919, so we can consider its real demise in 1918.

Cheb District

Cheb is the westernmost territory of the Czech Republic and, moreover, remarkable for its historical development. In addition, the Cheb region also became one of the most striking places where the two cultures, both Czech and German, converged and enriched each other. Because not only in relation to the Germans is it bad to remember, but also what is good and what unites us and there is a lot of it, such as a common history, mentality, cultural roots, blood ties, etc.

Czech Kornilovs

We have already written about the 1st Czechoslovak separate assault battalion. As for this martial art based on the traditions of strike (elite) units, it was still controlled by the Czech association in Czechoslovakia. an engineer battalion called the Czech Kornilovs (named after General Kornilov), who fought in the ranks of the White Guard Voluntary Army against Bolshevik Russia. Today, the Czech Kornilovs are a completely forgotten stage of our famous military history. Why?

Czechoslovakia in the autumn of 1938 from an economic and legal point of view

The autumn of 1938 is well known from the pens of historians in Czechoslovak history, when the first Czechoslovak Republic ceased to exist as a result of the withdrawal of the borderland and the second Czech-Slovak Republic was established. Therefore, I would not like to repeat all the known facts here. Until now, I would try to empathize with the attitude of a cold-blooded trader whose goal is to survive in the market, and with that let's always approach problems. Therefore, my dear readers for a moment get rid of any ideology. A few years ago, I read a book by the outstanding thinker Master Sun: "On the Art of War." In this book, I was drawn to the idea that everyone was to beat themselves. While victory is the result of the abilities of the winner and the inability of the loser.

Euro-American entropy

Entropy is the loss of energy and the gradual disintegration of the system. It is what the next developmental stage of the system follows, which follows the climax of society, which is no longer able to sustain itself with the change of influences and disappears. But how to prevent entropy? It can be easily avoided to find a solution. This solution arises quite often from a discussion on this topic.

Great Moravia

Great Moravia was an important period of our nation. Its geopolitical center was Mikulčice, Staré město - Sady and Pohansko, located today in the Czech Republic, in the districts of Břeclav, Hodonín and Uherské Hradiště. Great Moravia was the second phase of our statehood after Sámov's empire and before the Czech Principality, so it is one of the legal predecessors of the Czech Republic.
