Czechoslovakia

Czechoslovakia (Czech: ?eskoslovensko, Slovak: ?esko-Slovensko/before 1990 ?eskoslovensko, German: Tschechoslowakei) was a country in Central Europe that existed from 1918 until 1992 (except for the World War II period). On January 1, 1993, it peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in what was known as the Velvet Divorce, by analogy with the Velvet Revolution.
