The Kingdom of Bohemia and Papal States were part of a coalition of several European countries in the Crusade of Varna of 1443–1444, which goal was to repel the Ottoman invasion of Europe and liberate the already conquered nations of Southeast Europe.
Following Austria's conquests and annexations, both Bohemia and parts of Italy belonged to the Austrian Empire (from 1867 Austria-Hungary) until the end of World War I in 1918. Italian freedom fighters, known as Carbonari, were alike Hungarian and Polish freedom fighters, imprisoned by the Austrians in the Špilberk CastleinBrno.[2] Among the prisoners was Italian poet Silvio Pellico.[2] There is a memorial to the Carbonari at the site.
