Czechization
Template:Short description Czechization or Czechisation (also Bohemization; Template:Langx; Template:Langx) is a cultural change in which something ethnically or linguistically non-Czech becomes Czech.
This concept is especially relevant in relation to the Germans of Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia[citation needed] as well as the Poles of Trans-Olza[1] who have come under increased pressure of Czechization after the breakup of Austria-Hungary and the formation of a Czechoslovak nation state in 1919 (see Germans in Czechoslovakia (1918-1938)); to a smaller extent, it has also occurred with Slovaks and Rusyns.[citation needed]
Czechization involving Germany/Germans
With the expulsion of the majority of Germans and the partial resettlement of previously German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia by Czechs, these territories became czechized after World War II.
"In June 1905, the German language paper Bohemia of Prague reported czechization in Saxony, Germany after a great influx of Czech workers had czechified the town of Ostritz.[2] According to Saxon officials, the reports were greatly exaggerated.[2] They conceded that while Czech speakers in Saxon communities were fewer than popularly supposed, they were nevertheless worth watching."[2]
