In 1939, shortly before the start of World War II, Slovakia declared its independence under pressure from German dictator Adolf Hitler, but in 1945 it was reunited with the rest of Czechoslovakia. From 1948 until 1989 Czechoslovakia was ruled by a Soviet-style Communist regime. During the yaer 1993 the country broke apart, and Slovakia became independent.

Slovakia Economy Slovakia History From the 11th until the early 20th century, present-day Slovakia was under Hungarian rule, either directly or as a part of the Habsburg Empire. Intellectuals seeking to revive the Slovak language and culture began the Slovak national revival in the 19th century. The formation of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 following World War I satisfied the common aspirations of Czechs and Slovaks for independence from the Habsburg Empire. Although Czechoslovakia was the only east-central European country to remain a parliamentary democracy from 1918 to 1938, it was plagued with minority problems, the most important of which concerned the country's large German population. In 1938, the Allies concluded the Munich agreement that forced Czechoslovakia to cede the predominantly German region known as Sudetenland to Germany. Then, in March 1939 Germany invaded what remained of Bohemia and Moravia and established a German protectorate. Slovakia had already declared its independence on March 14, 1939, and had become a Nazi German puppet state led by Jozef Tiso. On August 29, 1944, 60,000 Slovak troops organized by the underground rose up against the Nazis and the Tiso regime in what became known as the Slovak National Uprising. Although ultimately unsuccessful, this act of resistance became an important historical landmark for the Slovaks. At the close of World War II, Soviet troops overran all of Slovakia, Moravia, and much of Bohemia.

On May 2, 1939, it was organized to have 5 infantry regiments and 6 independent infantry battalions. By August 29, 1939, the regiments were formed into 3 infantry divisions.

It fought at Lvov, Kiev, and was nearly destroyed by the Soviet counter attacks at Stalingrad. In 1943 it was withdrawn from active fighting, disarmed, and disbanded because of desertion and loyalty problems with the Germans.

Camping Slovakia - History and Government History : Over the course of the 10th century, these tribes gradually settled in the region and created an embryonic Hungarian state which adopted many of the systems and structures of its predecessor. Slovakia's mineral deposits made it the richest part of the Hungarian empire and the region prospered, especially during the 13th and 14th centuries. This period came to an end after the Hungarians suffered a major military defeat in 1526 at the Battle of Mohacs at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, who promptly dismembered the empire. Slovakia, however, was able to resist the Ottoman occupation and allied itself with the Austrian Hapsburg monarchy. Between 1526 and 1784, the Slovak capital Bratislava (known to the Hapsburgs as Pressburg) was nominated capital of the 'Kingdom of Hungary' and over a dozen Hapsburg monarchs were crowned in the city. A dark period followed, in which the country was effectively under German control. In 1948, the Slovaks voted for a democratic government which was aborted when Slovakia was grouped together with its Czech neighbours after the Yalta agreement between the world's superpowers. Another defining moment took place in 1968 when Alexander Dubcek (then leader of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia) introduced the policy known as 'socialism with a human face' that ended with the Prague Spring and the crushing of the reformist movement by the Soviet army. The period of 'normalisation' under democratic socialism finally gave way to democratic reforms in November 1989.

From the start it was a multi-lingual institution with subjects taught in German, Hungarian, and Latin . Its relationship to the church remained strong : the mind and the soul were attended. The school expanded and flourished until the Counter-Reformation when the buildings were turned over to the Jesuits in 1672. Ten years passed before the school was restored to its original educational pursuits. In 1815 the Lyceum added three elementary grades. These were taught in Hungarian, Slovak and German - the mother tongues of the students of that time. Later all the students would learn Latin. Also, students studied

First records The document of coat of arms. Bratislava is the only town, which had two exemplars of its document of coat of arms. Great Seal The first record mentioning the town is from the year 907, noted in the Solnohradske papers - Brezalauspruch. In the 10th century,the Bratislava fortress became the King's residence and the border of the newly established Hungarian empire. The village at the foot of the castle became an important market-place and craftsmen's haven which fast became a town.In 1291, when Andrew II gave the town special status, this transition was complete. The town's territory gradually expanded, its suburbs growing larger. During this period, Bratislava became one of the most significant towns in the empire. Its castle was fotified by King Sigmund , in the 15th century. In 1430, it was given the privilege of its own mint. In 1436 was issued by king Sigmund the document of coat of arms.

Reynolds Spectator Staff photo: A Concise History of Slovakia A Concise History of Slovakia Rating: 3 out of 10 Available at: Eurobooks, Jesenského 5 - 9, Bratislava Pages: Price: 880 crowns When the Iron Curtain fell in 1989, one of the most pressing tasks facing Slovak educators, already working on shoestring budgets, was to come up with new history textbooks. The current textbooks were hopelessly coloured by communist ideology, the older emphasised Slovak nationalism or Czechoslovak unity, and still older texts were written in Hungarian. Finding unbiased English-language information on Slovak history has also been a problem for foreigners, some of whom believe that Slovaks still stand in line for toilet paper. More than uninformed, such notions reflect the shadow cast by the legacy of Communism, as if it were the only (and the worst) event in Slovak history. Newcomers may be startled by the complexity of the 1,000-year Hungarian-Slovak relationship. Into the information gap steps A Concise History of Slovakia, a 300-page tome covering the first traces of mankind on Slovak soil (250,000 - 40,000 BC) to the rise of the Habsburgs and the fall of Communism. A dense, poorly written (perhaps poorly translated) collection of facts, it is a painful read but a rich source of unbiased information.

He makes history relevant and enjoyable - to expert and amateur alike. He has written over 20 books. The three volume set Stopy dávnej minulosti (Traces of Ancient History) is a best seller in Slovakia. He plans a fourth book to complete the set. He founded the publishing house Rak, which specialises in publishing history books, and has made more than a hundred TV documentaries. Though born in Prague, in 1937, he has lived in Slovakia almost all his life, elucidating the country's history.

78. Journey To Slovakia, History Of Torysky Translation of a pamphlet on the history of Torysky, slovakia. http://www.leslie-turek.com/ToryskyHistory.html

Leslie Turek's Home Page Torysky (Village pamphlet translated by Pavla Kieferova) Torysky belongs to the characteristic Spi s villages with a rich tradition in folk architecture, clothes, crafts, dances, and songs. The territory of the village, which is spread in the heights 800 meters above sea level in the north part of the Levo c a mountains, has long been rich in forests, pasture, and meadows. It determined the character of the village and enabled its inhabitants to busy themselves first of all with pasturage, wood culturing, and farming. But what was the history of the village? Who were its first inhabitants? These are the questions that can be at least partially answered by notices of documents made from parchment (leather), by ancient yellow pages of old books and documents. Their testimony often correct (corroborates?) tales and fables which speak also about the origin and nomenclature of individual villages. It is similar in the case of Torysky. It is a fact that name of the village is derived from the river Torysa, which is named in documents from the 13th century as Tarcha, Tarcza, and it has a Slovanic word base. There is in a document of Uhorsky King Ladislav IV Kuman from Sept. 15, 1284 for the first time mentioned the area around the spring of the river Torysy (Tarchafeu), approximately the territory where lay today's Torysky. But it is not a proof which testifies about the existence of the village. Indeed, we know from other documents that after death of King Sigmund (1437) the Gorgey unjustly took possession of a big part of the forest named Trisko which lay in the territory of a village Vy

OAS_AD('Top'); Welcome to Markusovce, Spis, Slovakia Do you know where you are? I sure didn't when I discovered this was the birth village of my Great Grandmother Susanna Hruby Buksar. Boy did I have a quick lesson in geography. Markusovce, formerly known as Markusfalu and also as Markus-Csepanfalu is located southeast of Spisska Nova Ves, Spis, Slovakia. I quickly discovered that Lieskovany, the town my Great Grandfather Joannes (John) Buksar was from is located nearby in the same church parish. The surrounding towns are Lieskovany (Leszkofalva), Teplicka, Rudnany (Koterbach), Zavadka, Ol'se, Odorin, Matejovce and Danusovce. Once I found the location of my Great Grandparents birth villages it was off to the LDS library hoping to find church records for the villages. I was in luck, the records for the Roman Catholic Church in Markusovce were available for the years 1697-1896. I eagerly ordered the films and was on pins and needles until they arrived. I found my great grandparents John Buksar and Susanna Hruby's marriage record, birth of their son John and daughter Maria. Markusovce is located in the Spis Region of Eastern Slovakia. The Spis region is situated just east of the High Tatras and stretchs from the Hornad River north to the Polish border. It's not exactly high on the list of tourist spots but it's not the end of the earth either. This area contains some of Slovakia's best preserved medieval towns. Between the 12th and 14th century, Saxon settlers drifted into Spis (called Zips in German), enticed there by the area's rich ore deposits and by royal offerings of tax-free living. The Germans turned this area into one of the richest areas in what is today Slovakia, eventually creating an economic and defensive federation of 24 towns that enjoyed profitable trading privileges handed down by the Hungarian Kings. The Germans were expelled at the end of World War II, but their once-rich medival towns remained, including Kezmarok and Levoca the walled town. Nearby can be seen Spis Castle, the biggest and most impressive castle in the Slovak Republic.
