Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren

**Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren (Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia)** is a country that resides within Central Europe. It shares borders with the Greater German Reich (Großdeutsches Reich) and the Slovak State.

The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (as the title implies), is a protectorate of the Greater German Reich, a Czech rump state, while governed by Czech politicians, it ultimately falls under the influence of the Greater German Reich through the Stahlachse, as well as their Reich Protector that oversees all activities of the land for the Reich.

## History

### The Munich Agreement

The Munich Agreement has reduced Czechoslovakia, from a political union with Slovakia, to now two separate entities - the Slovak State and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, as simply puppets obeying the will of the Greater German Reich. The demands made by Nazi Germany had meant that Czechoslovakia had to make concessions in order to avoid any kind of bloodshed that the Germans were willing to employ, one of these territorial concessions on October 1st 1938 was the Sudetenland, an area of Czechoslovakia with ethic Germans, populating at around 3.2 million.

This was further amplified by the Czechoslovak's government on appeasing the Greater German Reich, such as its actions on barring parties affiliated with Marxist-Leninism (more commonly referred to as Communism), and the suspending of any person of Jewish decent from educational institutions within both the Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia itself.

### First Vienna Award

The First Vienna Award was effectively a non-violent method of making border changes for the Nazis, alongside the Kingdom of Italy (led by Il Duce, Benito Mussolini). They have backed the Kingdom of Hungary's claims to ethnic lands within Czechoslovakia, more specifically lands within Carpathian Ruthenia, which was inhabited by a majority of Hungarians, approximately at around 85%, as well as lands within the South of Slovakia. This meant that Hungary had restored a common border between Hungary and Poland, dating back to 1772, this also signified a reversal of the Treaty of Trianon (1920), which - to put it simply, was the downsizing of Hungary land-wise after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

### World War II

September 1st 1939, the Nazis launch their invasion of Poland through the West, following the Polish declining Germany's request to cede the Polish Corridor and the Free City of Danzig to Germany, which marked World War II. This led to the deadliest, but certainly not the last conflict to have ever occur in human history. The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia has played an insignificant role within the war, except for maintaining law and order within the Protectorate and supply the needed manpower for the Nazi war machine, such as the Operation Barbarossa - the invasion of the Soviet Union, a successful invasion to say the least. The United States of America simply watched all this unfold.

June 5th 1945 would signal the end of the war, with a British surrender, signalling the collapse of the British Empire, the French having established a Junta after pushing Axis forces out of mainland France and some colonial holdings, wishing no more bloodshed alongside the Axis, leaders of the Allied and Axis forces have come to the negotiation table, signing what is known as the Treaty of Frankfurt.

### Post War Period

The Nazis have become the master of Europe through conquest and bloodshed. They have succeeded in the "Final Solution", eradicating "Judeo-Bolshevism" from Europe, with very few remaining, while some fled to the former British Mandate of Palestine, and proclaimed the Jewish State of Israel, being the home of all surviving Jews.

While the Nazis make their proclamation as the Master of Europe, they face competition against the United States of America and their allies of the Transatlantic Defence Organisation (TDO), the Japanese Empire (a former Axis ally) and their Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and the Saadabad Pact with Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The Nazis and their Stahlachse allies are playing a 4-way chess board against other alliances, with all of them having one simple objective: competing for world dominance. They are at a kind of war, one not fought with guns and armament, but through politics and economics.

While the alliances within the globe compete for power, something brews within the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, a sense of resentment and hatred towards the oppressor. A rag-tag group of Czech Nationalists seek for the liberation of their homeland from Nazi governance and its subjugation of their homeland. Their method of resistance is similar to that of the well-known French Resistance, committing minor acts of rebellion in order to cripple their presence, in order to free their homeland or perish trying to do so.

This is further amplified by a rather covert accord which was to be set in motion by Head of State Martin Bormann and with Reich Protector Wilhelm Frick to have the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia be fully annexed within the Reich entirely, this happening within Brno, a place within Bohemia and Moravia. This is colloquially known as the "Brno Agreement". However, whether this will happen will depend as to whether the Nationalists find out about this accord and whether they can gather the strength needed to fight one last time against the weakened Nazi warmachine, or whether they will allow their people to be enslaved by a regime whom views the Czech people as nothing more than manpower and a source of labour.
