 | | There is a hypothesis that this state emerged in the 6th century, once Lombards moved west and invaded northern Italy. |
 | | From as early as the 9th century, the lands inhabited by Karantanians, later Slovenes, had fallen under foreign rulers, including partial but cooperative control by Bavarian dukes and the Republic of Venice. |
 | | With the exception of Napoleon's 4-year tutelage of parts of modern-day Slovenia and Croatia -- the "Illyrian provinces" -- the Slovenes, living in the provinces of Carinthia, Carniola, Styria, and Istria, lived under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty from the 14th century until 1918. |
