Answer: The Czech Republic and Slovakia were created from the former Czechoslovakia
Explanation:
The Soviet Union ensured that Czechoslovakia remained a Communist nation even when they did not want to because they felt they would fare better if they aligned with the west.
Following the fall of the Soviet Union, the country took the opportunity to become a democratic republic in 1989 and remained that way for three years. In 1992 however, they decided it best to split up into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
