The history of Slovakia.
The area of modern Slovakia was settled by Slavs at the end of the 5th century. They belonged to Samo�s Empire. Later the Samo�s Empire was broken and Slavs became a part of 2 princedoms: Pribina�s Princedom and Mojmir�s Princedom..... These two princedoms were united and they became the Great Moravian Empire.... In 863 Cyril and Methodius came and they brought the Christian religion to this region. They were also the founders of the Slavic script..... At the beginning of the 10th century the Great Moravia ended, and the area of Slovakia became the part of the early feudal Hungarian state. The following centuries were hard for Slavs - there were Tatar and Turkish invasions. They lasted for about 150 years... After that, in the 19th century we became a part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy... Personalities as �tur, Hurban, Hod�a fought for our independence.... After the World War 1 in 1918 the Czechoslovak republic was established. Later in 1938 the Slovak State. And in 1948 the communists came to power and then we have Czechoslovakia again.... In 1989 there was a revolution in the Czechoslovakia and the two countries were divided. From 1st January 1993 Slovakia is independent......
