By concurrent decrees of the German and Czechoslovak governments, Czechoslovakia was dissolved on March 16, 1939, with theCzech lands becoming a protectorate of Germany, and Slovakia becoming an independent state. The next day, ambassadorWilbur J. Carr telegrammed theUnited States Department of State that "there are no officials of the Czechoslovak government, to which I am accredited with, whom I can maintain for protection of the interests of the United States and its citizens".[3] Three days later, acting on orders of the United States government, the United States embassy in Prague terminated its mission.[3] The legation and other property of the embassy was, thereafter, transferred to the Consulate-General of the United States in Prague and ambassador Carr returned to the United States.[3][4] The Consulate-General itself was moved under the jurisdiction of theEmbassy of the United States, Berlin.[4]
TheCzech Republic, previously part of Czechoslovakia, was established on January 1, 1993, following what is commonly known as theVelvet Divorce. The United States recognized the new Czech state immediately and reiterated its intention to foster full and productive relations withCzech Republic.[5]
