Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Czechoslovakia itself had been formed at the end of World War I, following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, however, prior to the war the two nations have been interconnected in various ways multiple times, that will be discussed in this section of the book.
Going through the early historical mentions of these two nations, their struggles in 19th century as well as the transformation through the World War I, we will arrive at the point of forming The First Republic of Czechoslovakia, that has for the first time officially united Slovak and Czech nations in a sovereign state.
