Abstract

In 1790, with the beginning of the national Revival, the Czechs worked to create a Czech state, which required the forming of a national consciousness that did not hitherto exist. The Czech people fashioned this identity using legend and myth and largely by contrasting themselves with their Habsburg rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as Slav rather than German. This caused them to turn rather to Russia for inspiration and to past figures, such as Jan Hus, and events to serve as models for Czech rebellion and independence.
