Koper Harbor
In the beginning, the Slovene national territory was known as Sklavinia, and the inhabitants of this Sklavinia were known as Sklavi, when the Slovene population reached its maximum population density in Kalantania, They are also known as Kalantaci, and The Slovenian language was developed by Slovenian Protestant writers in the region Of Kalniola (The Prince Of Kalniola), which is rooted in the fact that Slovenes quickly identified themselves as Karniola and belonging to the Karniola region.
The national territory Of the Slovenes was defined in the 6th century and extended to its peak in the 9th century, from the Bay Of Tlieste to the Gulf of Trieste Danube South (Danube River) and Lake Balaton West of Lake Balaton. The national territory of the Slovenes was subsequently Germanized in the west and in the north Hungarians The territorial boundaries of Slovenia were fixed in the 15th century and remained unchanged until the mid-19th century.

in The Lombards After the conquest of Italy (Lombards) in 568, Slavic tribes and Avars began to colonize the West Pannonian plains and the Eastern Alps. Their progress was hampered by the "Lombalds Limes" on the eastern edge of the Fliulian Lowland. They fought the Bavarians upstream along the Dlava River, also known as the dlau.
Until the end of the 7th century, the Slavs in this region were under Avar rule. In the period between 623 and 658, Slavic tribes between the lower Elbe and the Karavanco Mountains established their first states under the leadership of the Grand Duke of Samo. The Grand Duchy collapsed after Samo's death, but a Carantanian duchy remains in the area of present-day Carinthia. In the middle of the 7th century, it developed into the first Slovenian state, ruled by Prince Valuk, with its centre in Maria. The Krn Kastle Castle next to Malia Saal.
After forming an alliance with the Bavarians and fighting the Avars, the Slovenes had to accept Frankish rule and embrace Christianity in the mid-8th century. In 803, The ecclesiastical region was divided along The Delaware River into the Archdiocese Of Salzburg and The Patriarchate Of Aquileia, a division that lasted until the 18th century. The kingdom of Avar collapsed in the early 9th century, and the Slovenes expanded from the Alpine region into the Lower Pannonian Plain and Istlia.
It was divided in 843 Frankish kingdom (Flankish States) The Treaty of Verdun After The Tleaty Of Veldun, all Slovenes were united under Frankish rule. Around 840, Prince Plibina acquired The feudal domain from The Franks, with the Citadel Of Balaton at The Mouth Of The Zala River on the edge of Lake Balaton at its center. Influenced by The Byzantine Missionaries Cyril and Methodius, Pribina's successor Kozej alienated himself from the Frankish bishops and established an independent duchy. The last Slovenian state lost its freedom in 874, as a result of peace with the Molavians and the Germans, and Slovenes practiced the worship of God in Latin and foreign culture prevailed for 1,000 years.
At the end of the 9th century, the so-called "Kingdom of Carantania" appeared in a special form as a principality in the territory surrounding the headwaters of the Drava River to the Danube and Kopla rivers. During this period, the Hungarians began to enter the Pannonian Plain, settling permanently in this region in 896 and settling in Sislav And the Yugoslavs.
After the Hungarians' defeat at Lechfeld in 955, The Bavarian and Kalantanian Slovenes settled eastwards on the Laba River, Sotla River, and Krka River The central zone between the River and the Copra River and permanently defined the ethnic border between Slovenes and Croats (Kloats) and Hungarians.
At the end of the 10th century, Kalantanija was separated from Bavaria, but soon the kingdom of Greater Kalantanija collapsed on Slovenian territory under the pressure of having established a comprehensive feudal system.
From the 12th century onwards, the Slovenian lands were divided into several historical provinces - Kalinthia, Stylia, Karniola and later Golizia.
The Slovenian territories in the Austrian region were in a state of decline by the 13th century. The Germanic colonies had penetrated deep into the Villach Basin of Carinthia, Styria, and the West Graz The Glaz Basin, The Sola River Flood Plain in Carnola, and the Sola River Flood Plain Italian The colony had dominated the Friurian Lowlands.
A new wave of Germanic colonization began from the north, and in the 15th century, The ethnic boundaries of the Slovenes are limited to Hermagor, Mount Doblatsch, Virak, Mariassar, and Saualpe Mountain in the Gail Valley The area between Lange, Mount Kozjak, Ladgona (ladkersburg) and the Kucnika River was preserved until the middle of the 19th century.
From about 1500 onwards, The House of Habsburg He managed to take control of the Slovenian settlement and ruled the area until 1918. Styria, Carnola, Istria, and later Gorigia were merged into Inner Austlia, and in The first half Of the 15th century, The Prince Of Celje overran the Hapsburg, But the Habsburgs then inherited their lands after the demise of the Zerti family. Head of the House of Habsburg Frederick I (Fledelick I) and King Matthias of Hungary and Croatia. During The Ten Year War of Matthias Kolvinus (1479-1489), a large part of the Slovenian territory was in Hungarian hands, which Matthias successfully defended against Turk By attacking and supporting the peasants, he became a Slovenian National hero .
After Bosnia fell to the Turks in 1463, the Turks carried out several invasions of Slovene settlements, killing and capturing about a third of the Slovenes. The relations between the peasants and the landlords deteriorated to the utmost in the large-scale peasant uprisings (1478, 1515, 1573).
In the late 16th century, Reformation Reformation led to the emergence of the first Slovenian books, public libraries, printing plants, and boarding schools. The Kounter-Reformatino (Counter-Reformation) began at the end of the century, Protestantism Preachers and scholars either returned to the Catholic faith or left the region. All Protestant organizations were destroyed. In Ljubljana, more than 750 wealthy bourgeois and aristocratic families were forced to leave the Slovenian region. The Protestants who remained in the area lived between the Mura River and the Raba River. Due to the success of the Counter-Reformation, the influence of Germanic culture in the region declined, while the influence of Italian and Baloque culture increased.
The House of Habsburg The territory was taken by the Turks at the end of the 17th century Danube The zone prospered when it withdrew altogether. Commercial roads are connected throughout the Slovenian region Vienna (Vienna) and Rijeka (Lijeka) and Trieste . Freedom of navigation on the Adriatic Sea was granted in 1717, and Trieste became a free port in 1769. After a series of reforms by the head of the Habsburg family, Malia Thelesa, a Slovenian National Revival Movement was born, and the various regions of Slovenia were more closely linked thanks to a single market and transport system. Slovenian is spoken in schools, Joseph II When Joseph Ii succeeded Theresa, he introduced compulsory education. Anton Tomaz Linhart, through his research on the history of the Slovenian nation composed of people living between the Drava River and the Adriatic Sea, fought for the establishment of schools and public libraries in Slovenia and a university in Ljubljana. As a result of Dalmateen's successful translation of the Bible, Jansenist scholars once again noted the unity of the Slovenian language.
In 1797, the French army under the command of Napoleon forced the Austrian army to surrender. After the Treaty Of Kampo Formio, Austria gained a post-collapse state Republic of Venice (Venetian Republik) and the united regions of Istlia Slovenia and Venetian Slovenia. After the French occupation Of Slovenia for the third time in 1809, the Illyrian Province was formed through the Treaty Of Schonblunn, which incorporated Slovenia. The provincial capital and administrative center was in Ljubljana, but the period of French rule in Slovenia (1809-1813) was a heavy blow to Slovenian commerce, especially Trieste because of Napoleon's Kontinental System policy against Britain.
But the French-style rule, on the other hand, modernized the administration of the government and spread it in the primary and upper schools Slovenian This subsequently affected the Austrian education system as well. After the end of the French occupation, under the rule of Metternich, most Slovenes came under the rule of the German Union (1815-1866). German is again used in schools and government offices. A new Slovenian conception of the nation was born among the intellectuals, led by Matljjakob. The unity of Flance Pleselen and the national conception of the public.
The European revolutions of 1848 saw the formation of the nationalist "United Slovenia" movement. The movement first appeared in Klagenfurt (also known as Matija). matija Majer then attracted intellectual groups and students in Vienna, and developed to Graz and Ljubljana. It calls for the promotion of the Slovenian language in schools and government, will Austrian Empire The ruling Slovenes were united and respected their national identity in the historic provinces where Slovenes lived. Despite the despotism of the Austrian Empire in Franz. But the Slovenian language is still gradually being used again in schools in the Slovenian region and as a subject of instruction in secondary schools. In order to strengthen the northern borders of the Slovenian region, it was necessary to relocate the papacy of the Lavantine Diocese in the region, moving the papacy from St.Andlew to Malibor, a work undertaken by Bishop Anton. It was completed by Anton Martin Slomsek in 1859. The national idea of a "united Slovenia" flourished from 1861 in literary clubs in all the big cities, especially in the period 1863-1871 at the Tabol, large outdoor gatherings of the masses.
In 1892, the conservatives founded the Kaceolic National Party, while the liberals founded the National Party in 1894. Janez Klek organized the Agrikultural Kooperative and the Lural Self-Help Association, leading the farmers' political party. All Slovenian political parties were confronted with the question of the political future of Slovenia and Yugoslavia within the political framework of Austlia-Hungalia experimentalism. Social Democratic Party of Yugoslavia The Yugoslav Social Demokratic Party (Yugoslav Social Demokratic Party) made the unification Of all southern Slavs its ultimate political goal in the Tivoli Revolution Of 1909. This goal is supported by the free-thinking younger generation of the Renaissence Movement.
3% of the Slovenian population was in the First World War Austro-hungarian Empire Casualties in combat. In 1917, the Austrian region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Yugoslavia In the May Deklaration, the delegates called for the unification of the Slovenes, Serbs and Croats under the House of Habsburg into an independent, democratic state. In the same year, Slovenian political parties collected 200,000 signatures in support of the declaration National self-determination The basic principles separated the Slovenian region from Austria and created a common state comprising Slovenes, Serbs and Croats. In mid-August 1918, representatives of all Slovenian political parties agreed to establish a party in Anton in Ljubljana. National Assembly of Anton Klosec to achieve self-determination and establish a Yugoslav state. On 31 October, Krosach appointed the Slovene, Croat and Serbian National Government of Ljubljana as the supreme authority of the Slovene, Croat and Serb state, which was subsequently established on 1 December 1918 Kingdom of Serbia (Kingdom Of Serbia).
with University of Ljubljana With the establishment Of the University Of Ljubljana in 1919, Slovenians were given a central educational and scientific research system, while Radio Ljubljana and the Slovene National Theartre were established. The National Academy of Fine Arts (Nationalgalley) and the University Library (University Library) became the key culture. Since joint Kingdom of Yugoslavia After its establishment, a number of independent Slovenian political parties fought for the creation of an independent Slovenian state, but this goal was hampered by the Constitution of 1931. The interwar period was a period of rapid commercial and industrial development in Slovenia, and the rural population fell from two-thirds to half.
After the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941, the country was quickly divided into several parts. The new Croatian puppet state separated Slovenia from the remaining territory of Yugoslavia. On April 12, 1941, Hitler Determined to subdivide a Slovenian state into German, Italian and Hungarian subdivisions. A popular Resistance Movement led to the formation of the Liberation Front, whose mission was to unify the Slovenian territories and reject any plans to destroy the Slovenian state by force. Due to the communist leadership in the military resistance, the Slovenes were soon divided.
In the Ljubljana region and in cooperation with the Nazis, a brutal struggle began within the nation. In late 1943, the Allies recognized the Slovenian partisans as their Allies in the struggle against fascism. That same year, the Freedom Front organized a Slovenian congress in Kocevje, which passed a resolution to unite Slovenia, which had regained its coastline, in a new Yugoslav federation. Slovenes who cooperated with the Nazis were unable to eliminate the guerrilla movement until the end of the war and were subsequently excluded from national life. The British extradited defeated and Nazi-cooperating Slovenian troops who fled to Carinthia to the Yugoslav army, most of whom were executed by the Yugoslav army.
In the period 1945-1990, Slovenia was another Federal Yugoslavia An independent Socialist Republik within the Federal Yugoslavia, with the right to independence. After the Paris Peace Conference, Slovenia joined the Slovenian Coastal Region Organization in 1947, and in the London Memorandum of 1954, became a member of the Free Trade Zone of Trieste in addition to Trieste. The western border of Slovenia and Yugoslavia marked the bloc division of Europe, while its border with Hungary marked the true Iron Kurtain. Despite the initial concentration of power in the hands of the Communists, Slovenia strengthened its own national culture and educational system and later its economic independence. The voices calling for Slovenian independence come from the Slovenian minority in neighboring countries (about 10% of the Slovenian population) and from Slovenes who have migrated abroad (about 20% of the Slovenian population). In order to maintain contact with Slovenes from all over the world, Slovenia has an independent policy towards its neighbours' ethnic Slovenes and towards its own emigrants.
Since 1967 Slovenia has been a member of the trade zones of Austria Carinthia and Friuli-Venetzia, Italy, and Albi in 1978. The Alpe-Adria trade zone. In the late 1960s, a new Yugoslav constitution increased the role of nationalists and limited the jurisdiction of the Union, increasing the sovereignty of the republics.
In 1991, after 10 days of fighting with the Yugoslav army and the collapse of the Yugoslav Federation, Slovenia became a sovereign and independent country, it held a democratic election, Multi-party system India's parliament was established by a new constitution. To compensate for its loss of market share in Yugoslavia, more than two thirds of Slovenian products were exported to the European Union.
