This walk covers the Communist era and the most important events of the 20th century : birth of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918, occupation of Prague by Nazis in March 1939, The Second World War , assassination of Reichs-Protector Reinhard Heydrich in June 1942, liberation of Czechoslovakia in May 1945, Communist coup in February 1948 and the most tragic years in modern Czech history -the 50's, notorious with its political trails, executions and labor camps. Then we'll continue into 60's with the democracy movement of Prague Spring and Dubcek and the violent end of that fresh breath of freedom by Soviet invasion in August 1968 which culminated with the young philosophy student Jan Palach burning himself to death on Wenceslav Square in protest against Soviets. And we will finish with political situation of the 70's and 80's which ended up with the so-called Velvet Revolution in November 1989. And why Czechoslovakia split or people's opinion of today's changes or EU - you will learn all the answers! |
