Czechoslovakia (Czech: Československo, Slovak: Československo), or Czecho-Slovakia, offically Czechoslovak Federative Republic (Czech: Československá federativní republika, Slovak: Česko-slovenská federatívna republika) is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is a federation consisting of three constituent states. It is bordered by Austria to the southwest, Germany to the northwest, Poland to the northeast, Hungary to the south and Ukraine to the east. The capital and largest city is Prague, while the second-largest city is Bratislava. Other major cities and urban areas include Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, Nitra and Liberec.

The Slavs arrived in the territory of present-day Czechoslovakia in the fifth and sixth centuries. In the seventh century, they played a significant role in the creation of Samo's Empire. In the ninth century, they established the Principality of Nitra, which was later conquered by the Principality of Moravia to establish Great Moravia. In the 10th century, after the dissolution of Great Moravia, its central territory was gradually divided between the newly ascending Duchy of Bohemia and the Principality of Hungary. Bohemia became an Imperial State of the Holy Roman Empire in 1002 and later a kingdom in 1198, while the Principality of Hungary became the Kingdom of Hungary in 1000. [UNDER PROGRESS]

In the 19th century, the Czech lands became more industrialized, and in 1918 most of it became part of the First Czechoslovak Republic following the collapse of Austria-Hungary after World War I. Czechoslovakia was the only country in Central and Eastern Europe to remain a parliamentary democracy during the entirety of the interwar period. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Nazi Germany systematically took control over the Czech lands. After it's liberation in 1945, Czechoslovakia was restored and in 1948, after the failed communist coup attempt, it became a federal parliamentary republic with three constituent states: Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia. During the Cold War, Czechoslovakia adopted an official policy of neutrality. Czechoslovakia joined the European Union in 1995 and NATO in 1999.
