Sample Book Insights: #1 On March 15, 1939, the Czech city of Prague was invaded by Nazi troops. Two men, who had been Czechoslovak spies in Germany, asked for asylum at the U. S. Legation. The diplomat turned them away, as there was nothing he could do.

#2 In Prague, the German army marched through the city, taking over the government buildings and stations. Hitler declared Bohemia and Moravia to be part of greater Germany, and their government a protectorate of Berlin.

#3 The Czech Republic was originally inhabited by the Boii, a Celtic tribe on the run from northern floods. The Romans called the land Bohemia after the Boii, demonstrating that the territory was named by Italians in honor of the Irish.

#4 The Czech Republic was formed in the late ninth century AD when the Germans, Slavs, and Čechs migrated to the region. By the end of the tenth century, control of the Czech lands had been consolidated by the Přemyslids, an indigenous clan.
