When you walk in stoned and realize today is the day you have to stand up in front of the class and give a book report....

My moms side of the family is mostly bohemian and German. I’m trying to learn more about our history! Most people don’t even know Bohemia was a country

On my dads side of my family::  my great grandparents left Czech Bohemia and settled in Wisconsin, USA back in the late 1800s an my grandpa was born in Wis. an he was the first to be born here of his generation I have a cousin that went to Czech to get more info on our family there. She couldn't find much. That was a few years ago though. If I had the money I would like to go visit here. I no my grandpas family goes way back to the time of the Vikings. My one older sister found that out, she had told me this a couple years ago an I am very interested in finding out more of the Viking area there. Its interesting to here about our worlds history. Even though as a kid growing up I hated history class. Now I enjoy listening to it on line.

Bohemia means home of the Boii, a Celtic tribe that inhabited Bohemia; Wiktionary entry: Latinized translation of French Bohème, from Late Latin Boiohaemum, compound of Boio- (“the Boii”), the Celtic tribe previously inhabiting the area and Germanic *haimaz (“home”) (more at home). The endonym is from Proto-Celtic *boyos and could ultimately be from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws (“cattle”) (compare Proto-Celtic *bāus (“cattle”), genitive *bowos), a reference to cattle owners, or from *bʰeyh₂- (“to hit”), i.e. “warrior, strong hitter” (compare Proto-Celtic *binati (“to strike, hit”)).

Bohemia was abandoned by the Boii c. 60 BCE and settled by the Germanic Marcomanni shortly thereafter.[1] Related to Bavaria. //Where did the Boii go when they abandoned the region? Why did the Marcomanni move in?

They moved southwest as Slavic (ancestors of today’s Czechs) tribes moved into the region around 600AD //what caused the migration of Slavic tribes? And what did the Marcomanni encounter when they moved southwest?

Controlled by Samo’s confederation 630-660AD

Late 800s became part of the early Slavic state of Great Moravia

862 St Cyril and Methodius— In 862, the brothers began the work which would give them their historical importance. That year Prince Rastislav of Great Moravia requested that Emperor Michael III and the Patriarch Photius send missionaries to evangelize his Slavic subjects. His motives in doing so were probably more political than religious. Rastislav had become king with the support of the Frankish ruler Louis the German, but subsequently sought to assert his independence from the Franks.

//what was the cause of this dispute?:

Their evangelizing mission in Moravia had by this time become the focus of a dispute with Archbishop Adalwin of Salzburg (859–873) and Bishop Ermanrich of Passau (866-874), who claimed ecclesiastical control of the same territory and wished to see it use the Latin liturgy exclusively.

At 7:34, it should be Ferdinand the first, not the second. FYI

I know that we (Czechs) don't make the pronunciation easy for foreigners, but the way you pronounced Bořivoj was atrocious. :-)

Anyway, as a general overview, the video isn't that bad, but there's a lot o facts not quite right. Some of the most glaring ones:

1938 - the Munich Agreement didn't make Czechoslovakia a protectorate. It just ceded border regions to Germany. Then Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in March 1939 anyway and created the Protectorate of B. and M. and created a puppet state in Slovakia.

St. Agnes - by far not the first central European saint

My 2nd great grandpa on my dads side came here from bohemia. My grandma spoke bohemian but I never learned. Wish I would have. I had old bohemian cook books but they were stolen by my dads recent ex wife. 😔
