During World War II, this city was the setting of a British attempt to assassinate this city's "Butcher," Nazi General Reinhard Heydrich. One peace treaty signed in this city ended Saxon involvement in the Thirty Years' War, while another ended Habsburg involvement in southern German politics. This city titles a series of attempted liberal political reforms with the goal of creating "socialism with a human face," but were ended in 1968 with a Red Army intervention. This city's burgermeister died in 1419 after being defenestrated by a Hussite mob, allegedly causing Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia to die of shock upon hearing the news. A second, more famous defenestration in this city occurred in 1618. For 10 points, name this former capital of Bohemia, former capital of Czechoslovakia, and current capital of the Czech Republic.
