Download or read book Slovakia in History written by Mikuláš Teich and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Slovakia's identity seemed inextricably linked with that of the former state. This book explores the key moments and themes in the history of Slovakia from the Duchy of Nitra's ninth-century origins to the establishment of independent Slovakia at midnight 1992–3. Leading scholars chart the gradual ethnic awakening of the Slovaks during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation and examine how Slovak national identity took shape with the codification of standard literary Slovak in 1843 and the subsequent development of the Slovak national movement. They show how, after a thousand years of Magyar-Slovak coexistence, Slovakia became part of the new Czechoslovak state from 1918–39, and shed new light on its role as a Nazi client state as well as on the postwar developments leading up to full statehood in the aftermath of the collapse of communism in 1989. There is no comparable book in English on the subject.

The people, Sovereignty and history, Language and Tradition. The West Slavonians, who settled down in the area of present day Slovakia, separated by language from Proto-Slavic in the 10th century and their language further developed within the different dialect groups. An important step was the connection of the Nitra principality to the Moravian principality and the formation of the Great Moravian Empire in 833. A particularly important chapter in the development of the Slavic language in that period and territory is connected with the mission of the apostles Cyril (Constantine) and Methodius from Thessaloniki, who were sent by the Emperor Michael III at the request of the Great Moravian Prince Rastislav in 863 to the Great Moravia to disseminate Christianity and who laid the foundation of the legal order in a Slavic language.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notwithstanding the advantages of physical power, the struggle for survival among societies is not merely a matter of serial armed clashes but of the nation's spiritual resources that in the end always decide upon the victory. In Europe, there indeed exist independent countries, insignificant from the point of view of the entire civilization, and born by sheer coincidence, yet, this coincidence, this fancy, or diplomatic ploy that created them can just as easily bring them to an end---the nations that count in the political calculations are only the enlightened ones. Therefore, our nation should not merely grow in power, strengthen its character, and foster in people the feeling of love for homeland, but also---inasmuch as it is possible---breath the fresh breeze of humanity's general progress, feed it to the nation, absorb its creative energy. Until now, we have trusted and lived only in the weary conditions, conditions devoid of health-giving elements---now, as a result the nation's heart beats too slowly and its mind works too tediously. We ought to open our windows to Europe, to the wind of continental change and allow it to air our sultry home, since as not all health comes from the inside, not all disease comes from the outside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slovakia's story stretches back far beyond recorded history. This captivating book takes you on a thrilling exploration, from the emergence of Neanderthals over 100,000 years ago to the establishment of a distinct Slovak nation. Our adventure begins in the mists of prehistory, where we uncover evidence of the very first inhabitants - the Neanderthals. We follow the trail of successive prehistoric cultures who left their mark on the land, shaping the region's character. The mighty Danube River emerges as a constant presence, serving as a natural border for the Roman Empire (Limes Romanus) and a witness to Slovakia's early development. As the Migration Period ushers in a new era, the arrival of the Slavs marks a turning point. Sharing similar languages and forming tribal units, these people laid the foundation for the rise of powerful Slavic states. We delve into the possibility of Slovakia's inclusion in Samo's Empire, a significant early Slavic tribal union. Cities like Nitra flourish under Duke Pribina, becoming centers of another Slavic entity within Slovakia's borders. The book reaches a pinnacle with the rise of Great Moravia, a powerful kingdom encompassing parts of present-day Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Hungary. This era witnessed a flourishing of Slavic culture and the development of a distinct Slavic identity. The arrival of Saints Cyril and Methodius and the creation of the Glagolitic script mark a cultural and religious awakening. However, the decline of Great Moravia paves the way for Slovakia's gradual integration into the Kingdom of Hungary. Despite political integration, the embers of Slavic identity continue to burn. We explore how the Slovaks, separated from their fellow Western Slavs by political borders, carve out their own unique path within the multi-ethnic diversity of Hungary. The book sheds light on the development of the Slovak language and the gradual rise of national consciousness. History of Slovakia is more than just a chronicle of dates and events. It's a captivating narrative that unveils the forces that shaped Slovakia - from the arrival of early peoples to the development of a distinct language and the forging of a nation.

They then become part of Samoa's empire then later Great Moravia. After the fall of the Slavic empires, Slovaks had a succession of foreign rules by the Kingdom of Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They then joined the federation of Czechoslovakia. During the Second World War the Slovaks experienced a short lived independence but it was cut short by Nazi Germany. After the war they return to Czechoslovakia. After parting ways with the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic was born in January 1, 1993. Slovakia is a country with a population of a little more than five million people and is situated in Central Europe surrounded by bigger and more numerous neighboring states. Yet for a small population their contribution to the world has been significant, particularly in the fields of science. Father Joseph Murgas is a Roman Catholic priest, architect, botanist and inventor. His contribution in wireless telegraphy helped in the development of mobile communications and wireless transmission. Stefan Banic invented the military parachute and was the first one who used his own invention. Ivan Bella, a former cosmonaut was the first Slovak who went to outer space when he joined a mission to go to the Russian space station Mir.
