Glass work is one of such branches, which affected the regional development and general character of not only Jablonec region, but also the whole N othern Czechia. The very inception of glass work in this region is strongly connected with German collonisation. People,who came to this Czech border area, were originally from relatively crowded German regions. Such suitable natural conditions as e. g. deep forests, mountain rivers, it all made glass work possible. On this base, metallurgy followed by glass workshops, especially centred on abrasive technologies. In Nothern Czechia, there are vety exhausting climate conditions; the soil bonity is very poor as well. These facts influenced the economic structure and activities of its inhabitants. All mentioned factors made people not only to work in glass industry, but also in textile workshops. It means, they worked in the two most important economic branches of N othern Czechia. Prom the turn of the 18th and 19th century, key changes in glass work came into being in that time in Jizerské hory region.

Strikes and demonstrations were the most widespread ones. They broke out in almost all bigger cities. It was the first opened protest in the country east of so called iron curtain.

Haviar, Jakub ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee)
The relationship and cooperation between the Czechs and Germans were essential for the development of the territory Also we can conclude, the situation is the same regarding the future, although the level may shift. Till the date this relationship is affected by the traumatic break up during the world war two. This event disrupted cooperation and contact of both nations for decades. In its consequences the Germans were expatriated, nonetheless Czechoslovakia was stabilized both politically and socioeconomically. Even nowadays there are debates among Czech and German historians, politicians and the community concerning the development after 1945. Was it expatriation //displacement// (vysídlení, odsun) or expulsion (vyhnání) which took place at that time? In certain perspective this question still divides the two nations. Each side has its own view from which it interprets the history. We have to note, that even before the expatriation, which was approved at the Potsdam Conference, an unorganized expulsion took place. This phase of the expatriation is considered an injustice and a violation the human rights by all scholars. It is after this expulsion, when the organized expatriation had begun. From the Czech point of view this is defined as expatriation, on the other German side the same process is labeled...
