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.
