Moravia is a historical
region in Central Europe in the east of the Czech Republic and
one of the historical Czech lands, together with Bohemia and
Czech Silesia. It was also one of the 17 former crown lands of
the Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian empire in
1867-1918 and one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia in
1918-1928. It takes its name from the Morava River which rises in
the northwest of the region. Moravia's largest city and former
capital is Brno; before the Thirty Years' War, there were two
capitals: Olomouc and Brno.
