Slovakia (Slovak Republic)

Capital : Bratislava

History

The area north of the River Danube was towards the edge of the major Celtic settlement. It was never really part of the Roman Empire, with the Iazyges and Samatians remaining independent. During the mass migration of Germanic tribes after the influence of Rome was removed in the C5th AD, it was settled by, among others, the Rugii, Slavs and Sueves. The area was in the path of the Magyar invasions after they had based themselves in the Hungarian plain in the C9th and C10th.

Slovakia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until after the First World War when it became part of the new state of Czechoslovakia. After the fall of the Soviet Union, a general election in June 1992 brought out tensions between the Czech and Slovak populations and at the end of the year, the country divided peacefully into two new states, the Czech Republic in the west (the old kingdom of Bohemia or Cechy) and Slovakia in the east.
