==Historical Background== | |||
*Slovenia has historically been the crossroads of Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages and cultures. | |||
*The territory of modern-day Slovenia has been part of many different states; the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Carolingian Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Republic of Venice, the Illyrian Provinces, the '''Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary'''. | |||
*In October 1918, the Slovenes '''co-founded the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs'''. In December 1918, they '''merged with the Kingdom of Serbia into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia'''. | |||
*During World War II, Germany, Italy, and Hungary occupied and annexed Slovenia, with a tiny area transferred to Croatia, a Nazi puppet state at that time. | |||
*In 1945, it became a founding member of '''Yugoslavia'''. | |||
*In June 1991, Slovenia became the first republic that split from Yugoslavia and became an independent sovereign state.<ref name="slovenia">"Slovenia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenia, accessed 6 August 2021.</ref> | |||
