Slovakia is an aeternitas of the history of european integration that will have influence on the future of Europe. The name given by the inhabitants is SLOVENSKA REPUBLIKA with the official national languages of Slovak (belonging to the group of Slavic family) spoken by the citizens who today live in the parliamentary Republic of Slovakia, together with the minorities residents of Slavs Czechs, Poles and Ukrainians, plus Russians and Hungarians speaking others Slavic languages or Hungarian.

Slovakia is situated in central-eastern Europe above the Pannonian Plain: its western borders are delimited by Austria and the Czech Republic, while Slovakia confines on North with Poland, at East with Ukraine and on South with Hungary. Its territory is mostly mountainous on North all along the Carpatian chain sourrounding the country that gave origins to the several rivers (Vah, Nitra, Hron, Hornald and Laborec) tributaries of Danube river, while the Odra and the Opava rivers erupt into the Baltic Sea. The climate is rigid continental, especially at east towards the Russian-Sarmatic Plain, whereas it is mild weather in the river valleys towards the Pannonian Plain.

The history of Slovakia began with the settlements of Danubians people (as you can read in this article) who had been followed during the Neolithic age by the ancient Celts, then by the Boi tribe of Celts and in the I century A.D. by the Bavari tribe of Germans: they all founded an independent regna known around I century A.D. and submitted by Avars centuries after until they had been defeated by Charlemagne, so that Slovakia was invaded by the Moravian tribe of Slavs who in 833 A.D. founded the Great Reign of Moravia under the Mojmir dinasty. When that went extinguished in 907 A.D., their possessions had been splitted among the duchies of Poland and of Bohemia (the part of the Margraviate of Moravia), meantime Hungary annexed the region of Slovakia. In 1526 A.D. after the Battle of Mohacs, Slovakia passed forever to the Habsburg dinasty, joined into the Czech-Hungary Regnum then annexed to the Empire of Austria-Hungary until the end of the First World War.

In 1919 A.D. Slovakia got independence as part of the Czech-Slovakia until it was annexed to the III Reich in 1938 A.D. up to the end of the Second World War, when it was joined to the II Repubblic of Czech-Slovakia under dominion of URSS until 1989 A.D.. But some years later it happened the pacific secession of the Slovakia Republic, administered by regions (Bratislawa, Trnava, Trencin, Nitra, Zilina, Banska Bystrica, Presov and Kosice) whose capital is Bratislawa and the other most important city is Kosice.
