http://www.russiannewsnetwork.com/europe/slovenia.html

Extractions: Short History From as early as the 9th century, Slovenia had fallen under foreign rulers, including partial control by Bavarian dukes and the Republic of Venice. With the exception of Napoleon's 4-year tutelage of parts of Slovenia and Croatiathe "Illyrian Provinces"Slovenia was part of the Habsburg Empire from the 14th century until 1918. Nevertheless, Slovenia resisted Germanizing influences and retained its unique Slavic language and culture. In 1918, Slovenia joined with other southern Slav states in forming the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes as part of the peace plan at the end of World War I. Renamed in 1929 under a Serbian monarch, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia fell to the Axis powers during World War II.

http://www.rkc.si/eng/info/gener2.html

Extractions: The present day national territory has been populated by Slovenes for the last 14 centuries. The first known Slovene state was the Duchy of Carantania, which lasted from 630 to 745. It was centred at Karnburg Castle at Klagenfurt. Under the pressure from the Avars, the Carantanians sought the military assistance of their neighbours the Bavarians and thus lost their independence. Later, together with the Bavarians they succumbed to the Frankish overlords and finally to the Habsburg crown. From the time of Carantania, the special ritual of the investiture of princes performed in the Slovene language survived. Another important state was Lower Pannonia, ruled by Prince Kocelj. Its capital was located on Lake Balaton in present-day Hungary. Kocelj was removed in 874 by the Franks. The national territory was reduced due to its sparse population and germanisation, but the national awareness prevailed in the Austrian Empire, reaching its climax with the Revolutions of 1848. This was also caused by the division of the Slovene national territory within Austria into several parts (Carinthia, Carniola, Styria, the Gorizia County and Istria). The 17th and 18th century saw a new economic and cultural rise in the Slovene provinces after the victory over the Turks (Sisak 1593 and Vienna 1683) and the calming down of spiritual movements. A special cultural and religious circle was formed in Ljubljana, Academia operosorum (The Academy of the Laborious), which made numerous contributions to the present day capital and influenced the general development of towns particularly in Carniola. On their arrival in Ljubljana in 1597, the Jesuits founded a college for theological and philosophical studies. This is regarded as the beginning of university studies in Ljubljana and Slovenia in general.
RKC-A Survey Of The Ecclesiastical History
Archeological discoveries in slovenia, particularly around Ptuj, Celje and Ljubljana, point Pannonia is another region important to the history of Christianity
http://www.rkc.si/eng/info/gener3.html

Extractions: Archeological discoveries in Slovenia, particularly around Ptuj, Celje and Ljubljana, point to the presence of Christian dioceses of Poetovio, Celeia and Emona in the late second century AD. Thus their westward trek brought the newly arrived Slovenes in contact with the Christian religion of the original settlers. In the 6th and 7th centuries St. Columbanus, St. Amandus and other missionaries began evangelizing the Slavic newcomers in earnest. In 745 AD, Borut, a Carantanian prince, accepted Christianity in order to receive help against the Avars. His son Gorazd and his nephew Hotimir were baptized while being held hostage in a Benedictine monastery on an island in lake Chiemsee in Bavaria. Under Borut's successors, Gorazd and Hotimir, entire country of Carantania was christianized. Lower Pannonia is another region important to the history of Christianity among Slovenes. In 866 AD, two brothers, Cyril and Methodius came to the court of Prince Kocelj of Lower Pannonia after German missionaries forced them to leave Moravia. The brothers' missionary activity, augmented by the translation of liturgical texts into the local language, also influenced the written culture of the time. The Slavonic liturgy was given official acceptance by Popes Hadrian II and John VIII. Methodius died in 885 AD. His disciples were exiled by the German bishops and Latin was reintroduced in religious services. With the invasion of Pannonia by the Hungarians christian religion and cultural activity in this area died.

http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/germany/slov18151918.html

Extractions: While the Ancien was reestablished by the Austrian administration, lead by chancellor CLEMENS VON METTERNICH, the events of the preceding decades had laid the seeds for a Slovenian national movement, which began as a cultural movement, later to become more and more political. An 1816 poem mentioned the name SLOVENIA for the first time. In 1848, poet FRANCE PRESEREN demanded the various Slovenian territories to be merged to form a UNIFIED SLOVENIA, in which Slovenian should be the official language. The country was to have its own diet, enjoy political autonomy within the Habsburg Monarchy. As the various revolutions of 1848/49 were suppressed by force, the plans were not executed. In the second half of the century, within the Austrian dominions the German and Slavic population elements found each other separated by a widening gap; while a widespread attitude among the Germans assumed German to be a superior language/civilization and therefore should remain the language of administration, jurisdiction and education, the Slavic ethnicities demanded the respective Slavic language, thus Slovenian in the Slovenian territories, to be introduced as the (exclusive) language of administration, jurisdiction and education - and expecting the German minority living in their area to assimilate. In 1893 the debate over the language of instruction at the grammar school in Celje, southern Styria (present Slovenia) became an Austria-wide affair.

Extractions: Dr Julius Kugy, the poet of the Julian Alps. The enchanted gardens of our fairy godmothers have long since disappeared, as well as the dark legend of Zlatorog, a well-loved Slovene tale of a mythical alpine chamois hunted by man, has long told. Now, however, in our own luminous age, a new, magical garden has arisen to take their place. It is certain that the good-hearted, white-robed fairies from the ancient legend will walk through this new Alpine garden, lying above the Soèa River in the realm of Mt Triglav. Gently will they bless it and the Garden will blossom and flourish, multicoloured and sumptuous, just as the magical gardens of old! For all have given to it some of their most beautiful adornments and riches: the golden treasure of Mt Bogatin, the alpine meadow Duplje praised of old, the hidden southern and western glacier-formed hollows by Mt Triglav, the mysteries of the Triglav Lakes, the white scree of Mt Prisojnik, the wild cliffs of Mt Jalovec, the grassy Mt Matajur of our botanical Nestors, the flowering Èrna prst, the Eden-like meadows of Ovèja ves, Mt Krn gazing into the distance, the warm cliffs of Rdeèi rob.

Extractions: Slovenia is the most western slavic nation.Slovenia has a rich history that is observed today through thier summer festivals featuring theater and music in Ljubljana, the capital. Today there is a saying about Slovenia - it is the golden goose that got away! The early Slovenians settled in the river valley of the Danube Basin in the eastern Alps in the 6th century. In 748, Slovenia was brought under Germanic rule, by the Frankish Empire. In 1278, Habsburgs, the Austrian royal family gained control of Slovenia. Austria ruled until 1918,except for a period of French control which lasted from 1809 to 1850. After World War I ended in 1918, Slovenia became apart of a new state called the Kingdom of the Serbs. The name of the country was changed to Yugoslavia in 1929. Slovenians wanted to split apart from Yugoslavia, as did Crotia and Austria. They really wanted to be free! With the recognition of its independance granted by the European community in 1992, the country began moving its economy and community to forward in western Europe. Slovenia is considered one of the most promising canidates for EU (the European trading company) admission and expects to join by 2003. In July 2001, Slovenia and Croatia resolved a border dispute, which had persisted since the two contries gained independance from Yugoslavia in 1991. So,as you can see, Slovenia was and still is a wonderful country with lots of history. After its fight for independence, it was still beautiful.Croatia and Slovenia reduced their dispute, allowing Slovenia to gain independence. They just became a country in 1992. The golden goose is finally free!

http://www.ijs.si/slo/ljubljana/ljubljana-history.html

Extractions: front fun sightseeing practical ... CASI Ljubljana 's geographical position has governed its colourful past. A brisk migration of nations flowed through the Ljubljana gateway, part of the natural entrance from Central Europe to the Mediterranean, the Balkans and on towards the East. So it is not surprising that settlements of pile dwellers , and later Illyrians and Celts , grew up in this region more than 5000 years ago. At the time of Roman hegemony , from the 1st to 6th centuries AD, the capital of contemporary Slovenia was called Emona Ljubljana is first mentioned in written sources from 1144, its historical rise beginning in the 13th century when it became the Capital of the Province of Carniola . In 1335 it came under Hapsburg rule From the end of the Middle Ages onwards the town gradually assumed the role of the Slovenian cultural capital . Slovenian Protestantism, as the most powerful social movement of the 16th century, was a major influence in this. Ljubljana was then the meeting-place of the nationally conscious. Primoz Trubar , who gave the Slovenians their first book in 1550, worked here end many years later, France Preseren and Ivan Cankar , two important figures in the struggle for the cultural and political freedom of the Slovenian nation produced their works here.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/country_profiles/1097296.stm

Extractions: A country with spectacular mountains, thick forests and a short Adriatic coastline, Slovenia also enjoys substantial economic and political stability. It was the only one of the former Yugoslav republics to be in the first wave of candidates for membership of the European Union. It joined the union in May 2004. Just a couple of months before EU entry, Slovenia became a member of Nato. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA Unlike Croatia or Bosnia-Hercegovina, Slovenia's independence from Yugoslavia was relatively bloodless. The move was undoubtedly aided by Western European recognition of the Slovenes' aspirations and the low proportion of other ethnic groups in the country. Slovenia has always been the most prosperous region of the former Yugoslavia and has found the transition from a socialist economy to the capitalist free market easier than most. Politically, Slovenia was the most liberal republic within the Yugoslav federation. Throughout the 1980s there was pressure from Slovenia for greater political freedom and pluralism.
