Reflections of the 1866 War in the Bohemian Urban Enviroment

The central theme is the reflection of the Prussian-Austrian war of 1866 in Prague. The study deals in detail about what had the occupied Prague to experience, how was the reaction of people on the occupation and how did Prague manage to fulfill the requirements of the Prussian army. The research is based on Národní Listy, which were the most influential Czech-speaking newspapers, and City Council meetings protocols. We can say that Prague, its administration and population, did very well. After the departure of the imperial authorities, the City Council had to deal with all city management and communication with the Prussians, has mastered its role and saved Prague from falling into chaos. There were no food riots and the Prussians had no reason to conflicts with the people of Prague who conscientiously fulfill their requirements. National conflicts were marginal or none, but in this work, they are not described in detail. Locals took the war primarily as a necessary evil and do everything possible to survive it unscathed
