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 1993. 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 Republic
from 1918 1939 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.
