Judina, Valerija ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Woitschová, Klára (referee)
Through four historical sources from Prague and its surroundings, the thesis looks at citizens' perception of the occupation of the Czech capital in 1741-1743, during the War of the Austrian Succession. The sources include the annals by František Václav Felíř, a member of the Old Town bourgeoisie, the anonymous Paměti pražské (Prague Memoir) recorded in one of the Old Town municipal books, the annals by Ignác Gedeon Loth, a member of the New Town bourgeoisie, and the memoir of Jiří Václav Paroubek, a pastor from the near village of Líbeznice. The authors' views are analysed on the basis of selected events from the times of the occupation.

Judina, Valerija ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Stellner, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses the establishment of the Kingdom of Prussia in the context of international relations. The thesis follows the development of both the Electorate of Brandenburg and the House of Hohenzollern before the reign of Frederick III, coming to the conclusion that it was foremost his predecessor, Frederick William I - the Great Elector - who stimulated the rise of the country. With help from Emperor Leopold I, Frederick completed his father's work when he, by means of skilful negotiation, succeeded in establishing an independent Prussian kingdom.
