Abstract: Abstract Slovak culture and traditions have developed in the shadows of the country’s neighbors: the Czech lands and Austria to the west, Hungary to the south, Poland to the north, and Ukraine to the east. Freed from Hungarian occupation at the end of World War I, Slovakia shared federal status with the Czechs as part of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1993.1 A Slovak state was established under Nazi tutelage in March 1939 (Wolchik, 1991, p. 13). When World War II ended, democracy made a faltering new beginning, and the federation continued into the period when the communists seized power. Czechoslovakia was part of the Soviet bloc as a member of the Warsaw Pact and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance.
