Course objectives

The Těšín part of Silesia is an example of a region where three nations and their culture penetrated each other. The process of development of the national consciousness was running longer here. As one of the results of this fact, there even arose a group of inhabitants referring to themselves as Silesians, which existed there in the first half of the 20th century. The history of the region was very complicated in the 20th century, which influenced its national structure. The lecture will concern on the part of the Těšín part of Silesia which has been belonging since 1920 to Czechoslovakia and nowadays to the Czech Republic (the Těšín Region), because it was right here where the mutual penetrating of all nations living together at this place – mainly Czechs and Poles, who have been dominating as far the number of members of these nations. The course takes into account the international context of the historical developments which very often had a large influence on the creating of national relationships in the Těšín Region.
