  History of Bratislava - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bratislava is a genuine town for the first time in history (it will become a de-facto town again in the 9th century AD and then again in the 11th century).
Circa 1002, it is given by Gisela, the daughter of Henry II the Quarrelsome of Bavaria, as a dowry to Stephen I of Hungary, her new husband.
During the construction of this bridge (next to the Bratislava Castle) and its access roads almost all of the Jewish quarter in the middle of the town was demolished, including a beautiful synagogue.

Archaeological dating is, moreover, complicated by the fact that the churches might not have been used for burial from the beginning, or, to put it differently, the function of the buildings might have varied during their existence.
It seems probable that the architects of the Bratislava basilica came from northern Italy, possibly from the Adriatic area of the Grado patriarchate.
The Bratislava basilica could have been built as a bishop's basilica after the Moravian-Pannonian archdiocese was divided into three suffragan dioceses by John VII in 880; and the Devin triclinium could have been a bishop's residence modelled on the Lateran Palace.

 7 - HUNGARY AND ITS NEIGHBOURS
During the following decades the population of Bratislava grew enormously, from around 200,000 to something under half a million; the rapid pace of expansion shows in the disastrous socialist dormitory suburbs that now surround the city and are held up as a negative example of urban planning.
Western interest in the issue was evidently prompted by fears of the possible consequences of the Yugoslav situation, as well as a recognition that early intervention in the case of Slovakia would be far more effective than waiting for the problem to deteriorate.
The Trianon frontiers were returned to, except for the so-called Bratislava bridgehead, three villages on the southern bank of the Danube, which had to be ceded by Hungary to Czechoslovakia in 1947.

His troops then pulled back to hold positions around Limanova, at the Dukla mountain pass, and elsewhere on the Carpathians, stopping the Russians from breaking out on the Danube.
The Russian counter-offensive in February and March 1915 almost managed to push Borojević's Third Army back towards Hungary, but they managed to hold just enough for the German reinforcements to arrive and save the already endangered Budapest and the Pressburg bridgehead.
They then proceeded to join the general Austrian/German offensive (with the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army under Joseph Ferdinand and German Eleventh Army under Mackensen) that pushed back the Russians and would eventually retake Przemysl.
