Hungary Czech Republic
First posted on July 8th 2002, last revised on January 3rd 2011







Slovakia is independent since 1993, having experienced a brief period of independence, under German tutelage, from 1939 to 1945. From 1918 to 1939 and again from 1945 to 1992 it formed part of Czechoslovakia; from 906 to 1918 of the Kingdom of Hungary. The name Slovakia only came up in the 19th century, with the emergence of Slovak national identity. Before, the region was called Upper Hungary.
Files on Slovakia prior to 1939 and from 1945 to 1992 are designed to describe the history of Slovakia within the Kingdom of Hungary respectively the Czechoslovak Republic. The files do not intend to imply the existence of Slovak national identity prior to the early 19th century.
