Czech Christian Social Party in the Kingdom of Bohemia

The Czech Christian Social Party in the Kingdom of Bohemia (Czech: Česká křesťansko-sociální strana v království Českém), before 1910 known as Party of Catholic People (Czech: Strana katolického lidu), was a Czech Christian-social political party in Bohemia during times of Austria-Hungary.[1][2] The party was founded in 1910 as merger of three political parties: the Catholic National Party in the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Christian Social Party in Bohemia, and the Christian Social People's Party in Bohemia under the name Party of Catholic People. The party was inspired by the Centre Party in Germany and Christian Social Party in Austria.
