AHC: Czechoslovak state established with these borders

If you see a Czechoslovakia like this, and really it can only be because of a German Austria getting what it had wanted, you'll easily see Poland and Hungary slice up the Slovakia part. At that point, as pointed out in the Bratislava demographics, Slovakian ethnicity and identity isn't strong. Ukraine (or later the USSR) could take Ruthenia as well. Poland was very aggressive and bullying to their neighbors, such as White Russia and Lithuania, it wouldn't be out of character for it to bully a weak Czechoslovakia. And this will have repercussions for WWII as Czechoslovakia was the only democracy in the region, will now be limited to Moravia and Bohemia without the strategic defences of the Sudentenland.
