A bit of History

The Slovak Republic was a Slovak national state but puppet Nazi Germany during World War II, occupying the territory of what is now Slovakia, but one later recovered south part of Hungary. It was created in 1939 under the name of State Eslavaco when Germany created the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Subsequently, in July of that year, was proclaimed an independent republic. It was ruled by Monsignor Josef Tiso. Addition of Bohemia and Moravia, limited to Germany, Poland and Hungary. The Slovak Republic ceased to exist de facto April 4, 1945, when Soviet troops occupied Bratislava. Although sometimes I called the Slovak Republic, the modern Slovak Republic refuses to consider this state its predecessor, mainly by the application of anti-Semitic and really have lacked autonomy in their government. During the Cold War, in Czechoslovak history books refer to this nation as the Slovak state. This brief only republic was recognized by the nations that were part of the sphere of influence of the Axis forces and the Soviet Union, as well as El Salvador and Switzerland.
