Slovakia, known through its historical name as Upper Hungary, was the part of Hungarian Kingdom for mor than one thousand years. Its capital, Bratislava or Pressburg or Pozsony, became for 250 years the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom. The Slovaks and their predecessors, togethers with the Magyars, Germans, Croats and other nationalities did create side by side the statehood of St. Stephen, the first king of the Hungarian Kingdom. Without Upper Hungary or Slovakia, the historical success of the Kingdom would never exist. Only 19th century nacionalism of Magyars, Slovaks, Romanians, Croats did bring the death of the Kingdom. Now, it is history, but is our history, all of us. I hope these maps will be not the source of further quarrells, but the source of learning and understanding our peaceful and friendly future, the future of Central Europe within the European Union.
I have collected these maps many years form the internet. If the source is known, you can find it through the link or referrence mentioned in the article. If copyrights are omitted, I will delete the particular article or map.
