THE ROLE OF SLOVAK ÉMIGRÉS IN NORTH AMERICA IN THE EMANCIPATION OF THE SLOVAK NATION
M. Mark STOLARIK
Sažetak
Slovak émigrés in North America have played a major role
in the emancipation of their nation from foreign rule in the
last century. Although this process was not always very
smooth, due to the opposition of some of their neighbours,
and also because of internal divisions among Slovaks, both
at home and abroad, nevertheless in 1993 a democratic
and independent Slovak Republic appeared on the map of
Europe. While the proximate causes of the creation of the
Slovak Republic are fairly well-known, the long-term role of
émigrés in North America in this process are not yet fully
appreciated. This paper is a first attempt to sketch the broad
outlines of the role of political émigrés in promoting Slovak
aspirations for independence.
