Summary/Abstract: In his book Respublica Bojema written in 1643, M. Pavel Stránský (probably no relation) wrote: “The Czech nation is both handicapped by faults and supported by positive traits.” As a result of the its history and location in the heart of Europe, the country has helplessly watched itself be drawn into greater conflicts – both religious as well as territorial – which it could not influence due to its small size.
