	'''Sudetenland''' (]: ''Sudety'') was the name used from ]–] for the region inhabited mostly by Sudeten Germans (]: ''Sudetendeutsche'', Czech: ''Sudetští Němci'') in the various places of ], ], and parts of ]. (The region was only partly confined to the ] mountains). In 1918–38 and after 1945, the region was part of ] (since ] in the ]).

	==History of Sudetenland==
	===Early Origins and part of Austria===
	Sudetenland is a ] name and not a ] and it is thus difficult to describe a distinct consistent history of the Sudetenland. The history of Sudetenland basically followed the history of ] and ] until the 20th century.; small parts of Sudetenland were also situated in the historical region of ].

			Why did the chicken cross the road?
	The regions later called Sudetenland were part of the ] state known as ] for five years (888/890 to 894/895). When the lands of ] became the Czech Kingdom, ruled by the dynasty of ] it was part of the ]. After the extinction of Premyslides it was ruled by the ]s, later the ]s, until the ] rulers inherited the land of Bohemia and it therefore was incorporated into the ]n monarchy. Already from the ] onwards the border regions of Bohemia and Moravia, called Sudetenland in the 20th century, were settled by ].

			To get to the other side!
	For centuries Bohemia and with it Sudentenland was part of the ] until the modern concepts of ] and ] gained power in the ] and conflicts between Czech nationalists and Germans emerged (for instance the ]). By the beginning of the ] around 3.5 million native German-speakers lived in the area called Sudetenland and it was only then that in the wake of growing nationalism the name Sudeten Germans emerged. After ] the ] broke apart. The ] that finalized the split-up of ] in 1919 affirmed that the lands of Bohemia and Moravia should be part of the new state of Czechoslovakia and with them the German speaking Sudetenland.

	===Sudetenland becomes part of the Third Reich===
	The controversies between the Czechs and the Germans intensified in the ] and the German minority (which was actually a majority in the border regions, for which the term Sudetenland was coined), led by the ] politician ], was gradually escalating its demands. See ].

	Conflict over the Sudetenland began immediately after the '']'' of ] into the ] in March 1938. This led to the ]. The Nazis - together with their Sudeten German allies - claimed throughout the year that the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia were being mistreated and oppressed by the Czech government, and demanded incorporation of the region into ]. The Western powers urged the Czechs to comply with Germany believing that they could prevent a general war by ] Hitler. ] met with ] in Berchtesgaden, on September 15, and agreed to the cession of the Sudetenland, as did ] and ] three days later. The Czechs themselves were not included in these discussions. Chamberlain met Hitler in Godesberg on September 22 to confirm the agreements. The discussions here fell through, however, as Hitler made new demands that Chamberlain was not able to defend in parliament.

	Hitler agreed to meet representatives from ], the ], and ] at the conference in ] (September 29) where all four heads of states signed the ] ceding the Sudetenland to Germany. The Sudetenland was occupied by Germany between October 1 and October 10. This unification with the ] was followed by the flight and forcible expulsion of the region's Czech population to the remaining parts of Czechoslovakia, which were subsequently invaded and annexed by Germany in March ].

	===Aftermath of World War II===
	After the end of World War II, the ] in ] determined that Sudeten Germans unable to prove that they were anti-Nazi would have to leave Czechoslovakia (see ]). However, as a consequences of immense hostility against all Germans that had grown within Czechoslovakia since its occupation in 1939 more or less all Germans (no matter if they were affiliated with Nazism or not) were expelled and forced to march toward the Austrian and German borders. The number of expelled Germans totalled 3 million of the 3.2 million Germans of Sudetenland. These expulsions and forced resettlements were partly associated with excesses and even murders of Germans; there were 20,000 known deaths resulting from the expulsion. 62,000 people were reported missing by relatives but their deaths could not be verified. The property of pratically all Sudeten Germans was confiscated by the newly formed state of ] according to the ].

	There are various organisations which represent Sudeten people, most notably the ''Sudetendeutsche Landsmannschaft'' and the ]-based ''Verband der Sudetendeutschen'' (Sudeten-German Federation).
