Map: Kingdom of Bohemia in 1375, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Kingdom of Bohemia in 1375, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 170,000 km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

Before it

After it

How it ended, as its article says

Dissolved. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

Following the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I, both the Kingdom and Empire were dissolved.

34 rulers, 34 with terms dated as terms, covering 1198 – 1918. Median reign 18 years. 5 of 33 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 15 causes the record names and 5 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
