"History: Beginning in the 4th century B.C., Celtic tribes settled in the region, followed by Germanic and Slavic tribes. The country began to form in the 9th century with the creation of Great Moravia. After its fall, the Czech state emerged with help from the Premyslids. In 935, Duke Václav was killed by his brother Boleslav in fight for power. This violent act gave rise to the Wenceslas cult and St. Wenceslas is also the patron saint of the Czech Republic. The Czech kingdom expanded and experienced booms during the reign of Přemysl Otakar II (13th century, he had castle in Poděbrady built) and Charles IV (14th century). Later on, the kingdom was absorbed into Habsburg Empire. The kingdom of Bohemia was important and powerful in the region, but conflicts like the Hussite Wars in the 15th century and the 30 Years War (the 17th century) hurt it. A state in the modern sense of the word was established after collapse the Empire of Austria−Hungary as a union of Czechs and Slovaks, called Czechoslovakia, in 1918. WWII was again destructive to the country, which was occupied by the Germans. After the war ended, Czechoslovakia fell under the influence of the Soviet Union. The country remained a Communist state until the peaceful revolution in 1989. The Czechs and Slovaks split, and in 1993, the country we call the Czech Republic was put on the map. The first president of Czech Republic was Václav Havel."
