Talk:Bohemia

Lead & 20th century

I was bold and have pruned the extremely bloated lead section and moved the bits about administrative units and Pithart into the 20th century. I have also tweaked the intro sentences and restructured the lead slightly so that we got four neat paragraphs w/ definition, history, current status and geography. I did notice you guys arguing, but I don't believe I have removed any significant content – although I did often paraphrase or shorten some passages – so I went ahead with it. To be perfectly honest, some of the legislation bits seemed to me as bordering on the bizarre & not worthy of including but I have kept them in some way or another. If any of you feel I've overlooked/removed something important, just yell. --CCCVCCCC (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:32, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Kladsko/Kłodzko/Glatz

Since Kłodzko has been de facto part of Poland since the post-WWII border changes promulgated at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, and eventually recognized de jure by all European states, I very seriously question whether the Kladsko section is appropriate in this article on the historic kingdom/province/region of Bohemia. It seems to me that it would be more appropriate in the article on Poland, especially since Czech inhabitants were (apparently) always a minority there. Its inclusion in Bohemia seems very POV. – Sca (talk) 21:08, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I believe it'd be more appropriate to indeed move it but summarise it in the WWII section in once sentence rather than a separate section. The topic is quite insignificant in Polish history. Oliszydlowski, 15:15, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Go ahead, then, Oli. – Sca (talk) 13:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

⇒ So, Yopie reverted my removal of this section from Bohemia, and Oliszydlowski removed my NPOV version of it from Poland, which read as follows:

Kłodzko

The area around Kłodzko (German: Glatz; Czech: Kladsko) in southwestern Poland had been a part of Lower Silesia since its conquest by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1763. Referred to as "Little Prague" (German: Klein-Prag) by the Czechs, the Kłodzko Valley region on the eastern Nysa River (German: Glatzer Neisse) was the focus of several attempts to incorporate the area into Czechoslovakia.

The last attempt occurred in May 1945 when Czechoslovakia sought to annex the area on behalf of the Czech minority present in the western part of the Kłodzko Valley and known to them as the "Czech Corner." Pressure by the Soviet Union led to a ceasing of military operations, with the Czech minority being expelled to Czechoslovakia. However, the area remained part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Prague until 1972.

Before 1945 Kłodzko was German/Prussian/Austrian (Glatz) and had been so for four centuries. After 1945 it was (and remains) Polish. The fact that the RC church was slow to recognize the post-1945 changes, as it was with respect to various other Potsdam border decrees, is irrelevant to what had happened on the ground. Wikipedia should strive for historical transparency. Sca (talk) 13:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Before 1763 Klodsko was Czech Crown Lands. Prussia was not Austria, and 1945 - 1763 is not four centuries, not even two centuries.--Posp68 (talk) 19:03, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Czechia

I have seen the name Czech Republic at sports events over the years, but yesterday during a hockey game against the USA - Czechia, which is not on the English Wikipedia. Mir.Nalezinski (talk) 09:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
