In the course of history, various parts of today's Slovakia belonged to Samo's Empire (the first known political unit of Slavs), Principality of Nitra (as independent polity, as part of Great Moravia and as part of Hungarian Kingdom), Great Moravia, Kingdom of Hungary,[8] the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Habsburg Empire, and Czechoslovakia.

The present-day Slovakia became an independent state on 1 January 1993 after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
