===Croatia=== | |||
*In 1699, Slavonia changed hands from the Ottomans to Habsburgs, and the Muslim population fled. This left large swathes of land vacant, and the Habsburgs started to colonize new lands with people from all parts of their Empire. The first Czechs arrived in Slavonia around the 1750s, and were settled in Western Slavonia throughout the 19th century. In Croatia, they could buy from ten or more acres of arable land for price of 1-acre (4,000 m2) they sold in the Czech lands. | |||
*Czechs also settled other parts of Croatia such as Gorski kotar, and '''bigger cities''' where they were praised as '''skilled workers and clerks''', but were assimilated in two or three generations. | |||
*The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, established after the First World War, was very amicable to the Czech minority. | |||
*In Socialist, post World War II, Czechs enjoyed even greater rights, and more schools were opened. | |||
*Czechs are officially recognized as an autochthonous national minority, and as such, they, together with the Slovaks of Croatia, elect a special representative to the Croatian Parliament.<ref>"Czechs of Croatia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechs_of_Croatia, accessed 13 July 2021.</ref> | |||

*Between 1868 and 1880, almost 16,000 Czechs left Austria-Hungary for the Russian Empire. The reasons for their departure were the difficult living conditions in the Czech lands, and the '''rumors of prosperity in the Russian realm, where there was a large amount of unused agricultural land'''. | |||
*The bulk of the Czechs settled in the region of Volhynia. Apart from agriculture, Czech immigrants began to engage in other activities, such as industry, trade and crafts. The income for most ethnic Czechs had its foundations in the engineering, breweries, mills, cement plants, etc. In their communities, schools, churches, and libraries were founded, and because of this, cultural and social life flourished. | |||

*After World War II, the door of '''re-emigration for Volhynian Czechs to Czechoslovakia''' opened on the basis of an interstate agreement between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Soviet Union. Some Volhynian Czechs remained in the Soviet Union even after the end of the Second World War. | |||
*At the end of the 1980s, ten thousand Czechs lived in Ukraine. <ref>"Czechs in Ukraine", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechs_in_Ukraine, accessed 13 July 2021.</ref> | |||
