The thread on an earlier war over Czechoslovakia got me thinking:
How would Czechoslovakia have fared had there been no WW2 or other disaster (i.e. no Soviet takeover either) and she was basically allowed to develop in peace?
She had a very well developed and growing industrial sector and a number of good exportable products. IIRC she was supplying steel to the UK and others. She also IIRC had a good university system and a number of good scientists/engineers.
Could Czechoslovakia have become a major economic or even regional power were it not for Nazi annexation and later Soviet stripping/domination? Ok, that last part sounds like something else entirely, but you get my gist.
