History
Religion
The Czech Republic includes the historical territories of Bohemia,[19] Moravia, and Czech Silesia.
The Czech state was formed in the late ninth century as the Duchy of Bohemia under the Great
Moravian Empire. In 1002, the duchy was formally recognized as an Imperial State of the Holy Roman
Empire along with the Kingdom of Germany, the Kingdom of Burgundy, the Kingdom of Italy; and became
the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1198, reaching its greatest territorial extent in the 14th
century.[20][21] Prague was the imperial seat in periods between the 14th and 17th century.
The Protestant Bohemian Reformation of the 15th century led to the Hussite Wars, the first of many
conflicts with the Catholic Church.
