[00:00:00]So, fun fact about Czechoslovakia, um I had a history professor who kind of broke this down. The reason that the Czechs and the Slovaks are put into one country that doesn't make any sense was to [ __ ] over Hungary and Germany in particular because there's roughly 900,000 Hungarians who lived in southern Slovakia or tiny little sliver state that they took from Hungary. And then there's about like [music] 3 million Germans who lived in the Sudetenland, which they took from Germany. But there's uh like 10 12 million Czechs and Slovaks to balance that out.

[00:00:37]So, they figured if they gave the Czechs and the Slovaks enough population to counter the the foreign population they took in, it would work out somehow. Mhm. And that's how you have a country that makes no [ __ ] sense for an ethno-state.
