- This raises the question of the fate of the Czech people and of the state-law form of its involvement % Originally there was a strong racial difference between the Germanic Germans of one and the Slavic Czechs on the other hand. However, the thousand-year-old participation of the Czechs in the old German or German-led states has determined not only the political and social, but also the racial structure of the czech people, i.e. largely changed and assimilated to Germanism.
