Slovak Republic (Axis Triumph)

The Slovak Republic (Slovak: Slovenská republika), also called the Slovak State, was a fascist client state of Nazi Germany ruling over the majority of ethnic Slovakia. However, parts of the country were under occupation by Hungary. The Slovak State was recognized by Germany and several other states including the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, Croatia, El Salvador, Estonia, Italy, Hungary, Japan, Lithuania, Manchukuo, Mengjiang, Romania, the Soviet Union, Spain, Switzerland, and Vatican City.

During World War II, the Slovak Republic aided Nazi Germany militarily, sending forces to fight in it's invasion of Poland and later in Operation Barbarossa. Slovakia became more independent of German influence after the war ended in an Axis victory, and went on to become a notable member of the Axis Powers.
