Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for lists, sketches, phone numbers, recipes, reminders, ideas, and the old power of writing something down.
Marks the founding of Czechoslovakia in 1918. In Slovakia, the day is observed with mixed feelings, as many Slovaks see the Czechoslovak state as a period of Czech dominance. The day is not a public holiday in Slovakia, though it is in the Czech Republic. Historians and politicians debate whether the founding of Czechoslovakia was a liberation or the beginning of a new form of subjugation, and the day prompts reflection on the complicated relationship between Czechs and Slovaks.
