Bohemia on the map of the Czech Republic
Bohemia is well known for its glasswares (and other handicrafts), its beer, but also its cuisine.
In the Middle Ages Bohemia was sometimes an independent duchy or kingdom. In 1526 it came under control of the House of Habsburg. When Austria-Hungary was defeated in World War I Bohemia became part of Czechoslovakia.
