This article deals with historic administrative divisions of Czechoslovakia up to 1992, when the country was split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The territories of Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia were divided into several regions.
The country consisted of 10 Regions ('kraje'), Prague, and (from 1970) Bratislava; further divided in 109–114 districts ('okresy').
The kraje were abolished temporarily in Slovakia in 1969–1970 and from late 1990 in whole Czechoslovakia.
The word Socialist was removed from the republics' names in 1990 after the Velvet Revolution.
