What is the Difference Between Slavonia, Slovakia and Slovenia?
The Croatian Region
Slavonia is a
region in eastern Croatia. Croatia itself has a
complex and divided history, and has been separated,
re-formed, and re-imagined repeatedly over the past
several centuries. The region known specifically as
Slavonia is in the far east of the country, and
shares borders with Hungary, Serbia, and Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The region is known as one of
Croatia’s four “historical regions” and there is a
lot of history that has been preserved there, both
culturally and architecturally. In terms of
geography, it includes two primary rivers, the Drava
and the Sava. It is a fertile agricultural area that
is home to about 750,000 people. The biggest cities
are Osijek and Slavonski Brod. Most people here
speak Croatian.
Slovak Republic
Slovakia,
known more formally as the Slovak Republic, is a
small country. The capital is Bratislava, and the
population is about 5.5 million. The relatively new
nation began its statehood when Czechoslovakia split
into the Czech Republic and Slovakia on 1
January 1993. The split was peaceful, and
the two countries are not known to be rivals or
antagonists today. Slovakia is bordered by Austria
to the west, the Czech Republic and Poland to the
north, Ukraine to the east, and Hungary to the
south. The official language is Slovak.
Republic of Slovenia
Slovenia, or the
Republic of Slovenia as it is officially known, was
created under much more dramatic circumstances. It
was occupied by the Nazi forces during the Second
World War, but after the Nazi defeat it fell into
Communist rule and eventually became incorporated
into the country that would become Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia dissolved in a bloody battle that
dominated most of the 1980s and early 1990s, and the
region today called Slovenia broke away from the
fighting in 1991. It has a population of about
2 million and the capital is Ljubljana. The country
is bordered by Italy to the west, Austria to the
north, Hungary to the east and Croatia to the south.
People here mostly speak Slovene.
