Bohemia is a historical country that was part of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1939 and from 1945 to 1992. Since 1993, Bohemia has formed much of the Czech Republic, comprising the central and western portions of the country. Today, Bohemia is home to over half of the Czech Republics more than 10 million citizens; it now neighbors Germany to the west, Poland to the northeast, the historical region of Moravia to the east, and Austria to the south. The vast region is surrounded by mountain ranges including Šumava, also known as the “Bohemian Forest”. Therefore, Bohemia is still called Bohemia today, and it is a part of the Czech Republic.
