Administrative divisions of Czechoslovakia

This article deals with historic administrative divisions of Czechoslovakia up to 1992, when the country was split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia and the divisions were changed.

For the current divisions of those two countries, see their main articles and the articles Regions of Slovakia and Regions of the Czech Republic.

Latest division (1960-1992)

The country consisted of 10 Regions ('kraje'), Prague, and (since 1970) Bratislava; further divided in 109114 districts ('okresy').

The kraje were abolished temporarily in Slovakia in 19691970 and since late 1990 in whole Czechoslovakia. In addition, the two republics Czech Socialist Republic and Slovak Socialist Republic were established in 1969 (without the word Socialist since 1990).
