This article describes ethnic minorities in Czechoslovakia from 1918 until 1992. BackgroundCzechoslovakia was founded as a country in the aftermath of World War I with its borders set out in the Treaty of Trianon and Treaty of Versailles, though the new borders were de facto established about a year prior. One of the main objects of these treaties was to secure independence for minorities previously living within the Kingdom of Hungary or to reunify them with an existent nation-state. However some territorial claims were based on economic grounds instead of ethnic ones, for instance the Czechoslovak borders with Poland (to include coal fields and a railway connection between Bohemia and Slovakia) and Hungary (on economic and strategic grounds), which resulted in successor states with percentages of minorities almost as high as in Austria-Hungary before.[1] Czechoslovakia had the highest proportion of minorities, who constituted 32.4% of the population.[2] After WWII the Jewish and Romani minorities had been exterminated by the Nazis, and most Germans and many Hungarians were expelled under the Beneš decrees. Other minority groups migrated to Czechoslovakia, Roma from Hungary and Romania, Bulgarians fleeing the Soviet troops, Greeks and Macedonians fleeing the Greek Civil War, then migrant workers and students came from other Communist bloc countries, Vietnamese and Koreans. DemographicsTable. 1921 ethnonational census[3]
Linguistic rights in the First RepublicAccording to article 128 §3 of the 1920 Constitution "Citizens of the Czechoslovak Republic may, within the limits of the common law, freely use any language they chose in private and business intercourse, in all matters pertaining to religion, in the press and in all publications whatsoever, or in public assemblies."[8] These rights were also provided for in article 57 of the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1919: "The Czecho-Slovak State accepts and agrees to embody in a Treaty with the Principal Allied and Associated Powers such provision as may be deemed necessary by these Powers to protect the interests of inhabitants of that State who differ from the majority of the population in race, language or religion."[9] "In addition, the Language act granted minorities the right to address courts, offices and state organs in their own language, but only in communities where that national minority comprised more than 20 percent of the population."[10] The proceedings in the parliament were held either in the official languages of Czechoslovakia, Czech and Slovak, or in one of the recognized minority languages. Practically, everyone spoke his own language.[11] Recognized minorities in the Socialist RepublicA Government Council for Nationalities was established in 1968 in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic according to Article 5 of the Constitutional Law No. 144/1968.[12] Conflicts Between Czechs and Slovaks{{Main article|Slovaks in Czechoslovakia (1918–38)|Slovaks in Czechoslovakia (1960–90)}}After the World War I, the Czechs outnumbered Slovaks two to one in the new Czechoslovak state.[13] The Slovaks lived in the shadow of the more internationally recognized Czech leadership and the great capital of Prague.[13] The relationship between the Czechs and Slovaks was asymmetrical: Slovakia was considered an agrarian appendage to the highly industrial Czech nation,[13][14] and the Czechs viewed Slovak culture as lacking in maturity and refinement.[14] The languages of the two nations are closely related and mutually intelligible, many Czechs viewed Slovak as a caricature of Czech.[14] In his 1934 memoirs, the President of Czechoslovakia, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, writes he said in a 1924 interview to a French journalist of Le Petit Parisien: «There is no Slovak nation, it has been invented by Hungarian propaganda. The Czechs and Slovaks are brothers. They understand each other perfectly. All that separates them is the cultural level - the Czechs are more developed than the Slovaks, because the Magyars kept them in the dark. (...) In one generation there will be no difference between the two branches of our national family.»[15] However the interview is nowhere to be found in the scanned full archives of Le Petit Parisien.[16] Germans in Czechoslovakia{{Main article|Germans in Czechoslovakia (1918–1938)|Expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia}}There were two German minorities in the interwar Czechoslovakian Republic, the Sudeten Germans in Bohemia and Moravia (present-day Czech republic) and the Carpathian Germans in Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia (present-day Ukraine). In addition, there was a sizeable German-speaking urban Jewish minority, and several Jewish politicians were elected as members of German minority parties like the German Social Democratic Workers Party in the Czechoslovak Republic or the German Democratic Liberal Party. Hungarians in Czechoslovakia{{Main article|Hungarians in Slovakia|Slovakization}}Hungarians (and other minorities e.g. Germans and Rusyns) were excluded from the constituent assembly, barring them from having any influence on the new Czechoslovak constitution.[17] Later on, all the minorities gained the right to use their languages in municipalities where they constituted at least 20% of the population even in communication with government offices and courts. However due to gerrymandering and disproportionate distribution of population between Bohemia and Slovakia the Hungarians had little (if any) representation in the National Assembly and thus their influence on the politics of Czechoslovakia remained limited. The same considerations have limited the Slovak intelligentsia's political power as well.[17] Jews in Czechoslovakia{{Main article|History of the Jews in Czechoslovakia}}During communism there were no signs of organized Jewish life and the situation was similar to others communities of Central and Eastern Europe controlled directly by state.[18] Most of the Jewish left the country for Israel or the United States who wanted to follow Jewish lives and freedom.[18] For many years there has been no religious leadership.[18] Roma in Czechoslovakia{{Main article|Roma in Czechoslovakia|Roma in Slovakia|Roma in the Czech Republic}}After the World War I, the Roma people formed an ethnic community, living on the social periphery of the mainstream population.[19] The state always focused on the Roma population not as a distinct ethnic minority, but rather perceived it as a particularly anti-social and criminal group.[19] This attitude was reflected in the policy of collecting special police evidence—fingerprint collections of members of Romany groups (1925), a law about wandering Roma (1927).[19] The popular perception of Romani even before 1989 was of lazy, dirty criminals who abused social services and posed a significant threat to majority values.[20] Rusyns in Czechoslovakia{{Main article|Ruthenians and Ukrainians in Czechoslovakia (1918–1938)}}After the World War II, the Rusyn nationality was declared to be Ukrainian in Czechoslovakia.[21] The Rusyns refused Ukrainian identity, instead declaring their nationality as Slovak.[21] Rusyn cultural institutions were changed to Ukrainian, and the usage of the Rusyn language in official communications ceased.[21] Most settlement had only a Slovak-language school and a Slovak identity and orientation were adopted by most of the Rusyn populace, and they were, in effect, de-nationalized.[21] Smaller ethnic minorities in Czechoslovakia{{Main article|Croats in Slovakia|Croats in the Czech Republic|Serbs of Slovakia|Greeks in the Czech Republic|Macedonians in the Czech Republic}}See also
