Cultural Differences

The former Czechoslovakia is a perfect example of what happens when two different cultures are forced to live together. While each culture had an understanding of each other, there was much that was unknown to each. This caused a number of problems that arouse immediately and several years after the formation of the country. The Czech people had various cultural norms that were not known to the Slovaks and vice verse. Each culture specifically had their own work ethic which caused the biggest problems and lead to the splitting of the country.
