It just struck me that there’s a surprising number of famous Czech brands: Bata shoes, Jawa motorcycles, Skoda cars... is there an interesting industrialization story there?

Huh weird never thought of this although my family only bought Batas and my father had a Yezdi bike for like 10 years

I didn't know Bata was Czech. I went to the Bata shoe museum in Toronto years ago (it's awesome and I'm not even really into shoes) and I somehow just assumed they were Canadian.
