There were two incidents in the history of Bohemia, and one in the history of Czechoslovakia, known as the Defenestrations of Prague, the first in 1419 and the second in 1618. Both helped to trigger prolonged conflict within Bohemia and beyond.The First Defenestration of Prague involved the killing of seven members of the hostile city council by a crowd of radical Czech Hussites on July 30, 1419. The prolonged Hussite Wars broke out shortly afterward, lasting until 1436.
The Second Defenestration of Prague was an event central to the initiation of the Thirty Years' War in 1618. The Bohemian aristocracy was effectively in revolt following the election of Ferdinand, Duke of Styria and a Catholic zealot, to rule the Holy Roman Empire, which included Bohemia. At Hradčany castle on May 23, 1618, a number of them took two Imperial governors and a scribe and threw them out of the castle windows; they landed in some manure, and neither of them was severely injured.
A third "defenestration" occurred on March 10, 1948. when Czechoslovak foreign minister Jan Masaryk, the country's only remaining non-socialist minister, was found dead under a bathroom window of the foreign ministry in Prague following the establishment of a clearly Communist-dominated government in the Victorious February. Speculation over the cause of his death continues to this day, though no evidence has been found to incriminate or exculpate the regime.

View on Prague from the Klementinum tower,
where a meteorological and astronomical
oberservatory was located. (large version)Prague (Praha in Czech) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Situated on the Vltava river, it contains approximately 1.2 million inhabitants. Nicknames for Prague have included "city of a hundred spires", "the golden city", "the Paris of the Twenties in the Nineties", the "mother of all cities", and "the heart of Europe".
Founded in the latter part of the 9th century, Prague soon became the seat of the kings of Bohemia, some of whom later reigned also as emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. The city flourished during the 14th-century reign of Charles IV, who ordered the building of the New Town, the Charles Bridge, Saint Vitus's Cathedral, the oldest gothic cathedral in central Europe and actually inside the Castle, the oldest synagogue in northern Europe, Maisel Synagogue, and the Charles University, the oldest university in central Europe north of the Alps. Prague was then the third-largest city in Europe.
The four independent towns that had formerly constituted Prague were eventually proclaimed a single city in 1784. Those four towns were Hradcany (the Castle, west of the Vltava), Mala Strana (the Lesser Quarter, south of the Castle), Stare Mesto (the Old Town, on the east bank opposite the Castle) and Nove Mesto (the New Town, further south and east). The city underwent further expansion with the annexation of Josefov in 1850 and Vysehrad in 1883, and at the beginning of 1922, another 37 municipalities were incorporated, raising the city's population to 676,000. Most of the city's 50,000 Jews died in the Nazi genocide of World War II.
Prague is a popular tourist city. There are lots of old houses, many with beautiful murals on them. It contains one of the world's most pristine and varied collections of architecture, from Art Nouveau to baroque, Cubist, Gothic, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern. Some of its many tourist attractions are Stare Mesto, various places connected to Franz Kafka, Mala Strana, Hradcany with St. Vitus's Cathedral, the Charles Bridge, and the Lennon Wall.
Prague is a traditional cultural center, hosting many theaters (including National Theatre), opera houses, concert halls, galleries and music clubs. It is also the site of most important offices and institutions of the Czech Republic, including the President, the Government and both houses of the Parliament. Besides Charles University, the city contains another 7 universities and colleges including the Czech Technical University (CVUT) founded in 1707.
Public transport infrastructure consists of three underground lines called the Metro, as well as tramway lines and buses.
Prague suffered serious flooding in August 2002, with parts of the city having to be evacuated. The floods caused a lot of damage, but fortunately no major landmarks (such as the Charles Bridge) were destroyed.
Prague is served by Ruzyne International Airport, which is the hub of the flag carrier, CSA Czech Airlines

The University of Prague or Charles University (Czech: Univerzita Karlova), was the first Czech and also German university (within the Holy Roman Empire).It was founded by King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who established it by Golden Bull in 1348. It was confirmed by pope Clement VI as a studium generale on request by the emperor. Based on the model of Bologna and Paris the university was opened in 1349 and sanctioned by emperor Charles IV in 1349. Archbishop Arnost of Pardubice took an active part in the foundation by obliging the clergy to contribute. The lectures were held in the colleges, of which the oldest was named the Carolinum. The university was sectioned into Czech, Bavarian, Saxon and Polish parts called nations.
In 1403 the university forbade its members to follow the teachings of Wycliff, but his doctrine continued to gain in popularity. Jan Hus had translated Wycliff's Trialogus into the Czech language. He was dean and rector of the university. The other sections (called nations) of the university declared their support for the side of pope Gregory XII. Hus knew how to make use of king Wenceslaus' opposition to Gregory. By the decree of Kutna Hora (Dekret Kutnohorský in Czech) in 1409, Hus and the Czech nation had three votes in all affairs of the university, while only one vote was for all the other nations combined. The result of this was the emigration of the German professors and students to the University of Leipzig in May 1409. The Prague university lost its largest part of the students and the faculty. From then on the university declined to a national institution with a very low status. For decades no degrees were given and only the faculty of arts remained. Emperor Sigismund, son of Charles IV, took what was left into his personal property and some progress was made,and again later under emperor Rudolph II, when he took up residence in Prague. The emperor Ferdinand I had called the Jesuits to Prague and they had opened an academy. Soon they took over, were expelled 1618-21, but by 1622 they had a predominant influence over the emperor. An Imperial decree gave the Jesuits supreme control over the entire school system of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. The last four professors at the Carolina now resigned and all of the Carolina and nine colleges went to the Jesuits. The right of handing out degrees, of holding chancellorships and of appointing the secular professors was also granted to the Jesuits.
Cardinal Ernst, Count von Harrach actively opposed this union of power and prevented the drawing up of the Golden Bull for the confirmation of this grant. Cardinal Ernst funded the Collegium Adalbertinum and in 1638 emperor Ferdinand III limited the teaching monopoly enjoyed by the Jesuits.He took from them the rights, properties and archives of the Carolinum etc. and made the university once more independent under an imperial protector.During the last years of the Thirty Years' War the Charles Bridge in Prague was courageously defended by students of the Carolina and Clementina.
The dilapidated Carolinum was rebuilt in 1718 at the expense of the state. Since 1650 those who received any degrees took an oath to maintain the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin, renewed annually. The rebuilding and the bureaucratic reforms of universities of Austria in 1752 and 1754 deprived the university of many of its former privileges.
For the first time Protestants were allowed and soon after Jews. The university funded an additional Czech professorship. By 1863 out of 187 lecture courses 22 were held in Czech language. The Czechs were not satisfied. Consequently after long negotiations the Carolo-Ferdinandea was divided into a German and a Czech Karl-Ferdinand University by law of 1882. Each section was entirely independent of the other, only the aula and the library were used in common. While the inhabitants of Prague had remained roughly even, by 1909 the Czech students at the Czech Karl-Ferdinand University numbered 4300 students and the students at the German Karl-Ferdinand University numbered 1800.
