	SLOVENES - LoveToKnow Article on SLOVENES
		Their neighbors on the south-west are Italians, on the west and north Germans: history and placenames point to Slovenes having formerly held parts of Tirol, Salzburg and Austria Proper; and on the east they have given up south-west Hungary to the Magyars; to the south they have the kindred race of the Croats.
		Slovene woke to a new life in the latter part of the 18th century.
		In phonetics Slovene is remarkable for the change of the original lj dj into ~ and j (our y) respectively, of j into u, and for the coincidence of the old half vowels i and ii in a dull e.

	The Slovenes - history of the nation
		Slovene territory settled from the 6th century on reached its greatest extent in the 9th century, covering an area from the Bay of Trieste to the Danube River in the north and Lake Balaton in the east.
		Slovene ethnic territory subsequently shrank due to Germanization in the west and north and the arrival of the Hungarians on the Pannonian Plain.
		Slovene settlement in Austria waned as early as the 13th century: German colonization reached the Villach Basin in Carinthia, the Graz Basin in Styria, and the Sora River flood plain in Carniola, and Italian colonization dominated the Friulian lowlands.

	Slovene-Italian Relations 1880-1956
		The Slovene side considered that the town belonged to the country, since rural areas should preserve their intact original identity of the given environment, free from cultural and social processes, and since the national image of towns was considered to have been a consequence of assimilation processes which impoverished the Slovene nation.
		Slovenes and Italians were overwhelmed by the feelings of their own national identities and were not able to develop a feeling of common affiliation to the environment in which both national communities had roots.
		Slovenes pursued the idea of Trieste as a centre of Slovene economic growth; they underlined its central role in the development, and although the Slovene population in Trieste was in the minority, there were more Slovene inhabitants in Trieste than in Ljubljana due to the different demographic composition of the two towns.

	PERIOD 1918-1941
		Many Slovenes joined the socialist movement because of their faith in its principles of social justice and national equality, turning it, by their presence, in a revolutionary direction: for this reason the fascists forged the notion of "Slavo-communists" and further stirred up the feelings of extreme nationalism.
		Slovenes had limited access to employment in public service, several hundreds of cultural, sports, youth, social, and professional associations as well as dozens of business co-operatives and financial institutions, national centres, libraries, etc. were closed down.
		Slovenes showed their interest in Italian literature in particular by translating and spreading works by Italian authors, whereas the interest of Italians in Slovene literature was very moderate, although there occurred some initiatives, in particular for translation.

		Slovene fears of a repeat of the Twilight War were shared with much of the rest of central Europe, as were distant Slovene worries that Slovenia could be swallowed up into a greater Germany.
		While the majority of non-Communal ethnic Slovenes in the Austrian states have nothing to complain about--indeed, the Slovene community of Vienna has successfully maintained its cohesion as a minority and is thriving--publicized events of discrimination against Slovene travellers and businesspeople have soured some Slovenes on their northern neighbours.

		Slovenes, by historians now referred to as Alpine Slavs or proto-Slovenes, pushed up the Sava, Drava, and Mura river valleys into the Eastern Alps and the Karst (a limestone area on the Dalmatian coast on the Adriatic Sea north of Trieste).
		By the year 700, these Slavic tribes became united under Duke Borut, who recognized the sovereignty of Bavaria in 725, in an effort to align himself with the Bavarians against the threat of the Avars - a nomadic Tartar tribe that was harrassing the populations of the Danube and Drava rivers.
		The Germans finally overwhelmed the Slovene settlements, which could not depend on a continuous stream of new settlers.

		Slovenes mostly remained loyal to the Habsburgs almost to the end of the First World War for various reasons: historical inertia, fear of Italian or German expansionism, the Catholic character of the Empire, its economic unity or sense of cultural superiority relative to the Serbs.
		Slovene Liberals (divided in several parties and fractions) were - with few exceptions - against federal organisation of new state: they enthusiastically advocated national unitarism (uniform nation-state), corresponding rigid political centralism and even rejected the ethnic/linguistic specificity of Slovenes and pleaded for assimilation.
		Slovene territory was divided among Germans (central part), Italians (Ljubljana province) and Hungary (Prekmurje): the last two even formally completely annexed these lands to their states (while the first was in process of annexation).

	WELCOME, SLOVENIA!
		The federal Yugoslav army bent on taming the Slovenes was headed by two Serb fanatics: General Bogojc Adzic, the chief of staff, and tank commander General Zivota Avaramovic, fresh from crushing the overwhelmingly Albanian-Serb-run region of Kosovo.
		Once again, as in all guerrilla victories, the key was ardent, virtual unanimous support by the Slovene people in defense of their freedom against a hated external force, as well as intimate knowledge of the terrain by the guerrillas.
		And the Slovenes, who before the battle had been willing to settle for sovereignty within a loose Yugoslav confederation, were now both embittered by the Serb aggression and emboldened by their heroic victory against far superior numbers and firepower.
