John,
the present state Česká Republika [Czechia / Tschechei / Tschechien] 
comprises the historic unities of Bohemia, Moravia and Austrian Silesia. 
Bohemia was a kingdom [since 1085] with the German resp. Austrian 
Emperor as king in personal union [since 1438 / 1526], Moravia a 
margravate [since 1182], and Austrian Silesia a duchy [since 1526 
Habsburgian / Austrian with the emperor as duke in personal union].

German settlers from Saxony, Bohemia and Silesia to Lodz were enlisted 
by Sejm marechal Rembielinski in the 1820ies.
