	SLOVAKIA.ORG - Slovak Republic FAQ
		Considering that Czechoslovakia on two occasions (1918 and 1945) and Slovakia once before (1939) were created in a dictatorial and wholly undemocratic way, namely by oligarchs and external fiats, the separation of Slovakia in 1993 was comparatively more democratic than both previous separations and conglomerations.
		Although W.W.II was the most destructive war ever, Slovakia was at the periphery of the theatre of war and wasn't severely affected.
		The separation of Slovakia from Czechoslovakia, which is referred to as the 'Velvet Divorce' and occurred in 1993, was executed in a democratic and largely uneventful way.
