Europe during the latter part of the 19th century, much like Europe in the late 20th century, was a complex place, in which there was sometimes a fine line between patriotic movements premised on the idea of the nation as a universal moral conception, and movements that were manipulated by the practitioners of British geopolitics, to the end of destabilizing strategically important regions. Bohemian music coalesced around a movement that represented a nationalism of the best sort, optimistic and morally uplifting. In the case of the land which today is called the Czech Republic, a "People's War" was waged in which the most powerful weapon was music. The movement for Czech independence from the Hapsburg empire is the sole example in history of a war of independence where the generals were composers, and the infantry were orchestras. The area occupied by the modern Czech Republic was, in earlier times, the kingdom of Bohemia. Bohemia was for centuries one of the political, cultural, and religious centers of Europe. But like neighboring Moravia and Slovakia, Bohemia waged a continuing struggle to maintain its independence from its expansion-minded neighbors. After the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, Bohemia was extinguished as a nation and absorbed into the Hapsburg Empire, until the end of the first world war. By the end of the eighteenth century only the peasantry spoke Czech; it had been otherwise superseded by German as the national language. But the music of Bohemia, the most characteristic feature of her national culture, remained alive.
