A bit about Slovakia... If you looked at a 1990 map, you wouldn’t find Slovakia, you’d see Czechoslovakia. Once a part of the Hapsburg and Austro-Hungarian empires, Slovakia decided to go it alone in 1993. The break up was known as the "Velvet Divorce" named after the peaceful fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia, the "Velvet Revolution". Slovakia is at the very center of Europe. It has tall mountains, medieval castles and deep peasant traditions. Printer-friendly version |
