Slovakia (Slovak: Slovensko), officially the State of Slovakia (Slovak: Slovenský štát), is a constituent state of Czechoslovakia. The capital and largest city is Bratislava.
The Slavs arrived in the territory of today's Slovakia in the fifth and sixth centuries. In the seventh century, they played a significant role in the creation of Samo's Empire. In the ninth century, the Principality of Nitra was founded, which was later conquered by the Principality of Moravia, which later became Great Moravia. In the 10th century, after the breakup of Great Moravia, the territory was incorporated into the Principality of Hungary, which then became the Kingdom in 1000.
During the Third Great War and the beginning of the disintegration of Hungary, Czechoslovakia was created in 1918, and in 1921, after the adoption of constitution, the State of Slovakia was created.
