A Super Quick History of Slovenia 

I love Slovenia. A tiny marvel with mountains, lakes, caves, castles and blue sea.

As a Czech, I feel a relatively strong relationship with Slovenia. We Czechs and Slovenians have Slavic roots, language and mentality, but at the same time we have quite visible cultural, architectural and genetic influences of German/Austrian entities. I have never been to Slovenia, but from the things I have seen and heard, it seems to me that we really have a lot in common, it even seems to me that more than we Czechs have with Poles and Slovenians with Croats or Serbs. Zdravím do Slovinska naše braty!

Bog živi in blagoslovi našo prelepo, prekrasno in samostojno SLOVEnijo, slovenski narod, jezik in kulturo! Živela SLOVEnija, Slovenke, Slovence in slovenstvo! Živela svoboda! 🇸🇮❤️🙏🇸🇮🙏

I just returned home from that beautiful country after staying there for 1.5 months 🇸🇮💚

Slovenia is one of those countries that are just chilling.

I’m half Slovenian. Wish there were more videos like this. Most Americans haven’t even heard of Slovenia.

Was in Slovenia one time, was jogging around some mountains and I met a Slovenian girl who kissed me and then ran away. 10/10 would go back.

love to Slovenia from Finland!!! :)

Slovenes dont probably realise that, cause we arent direct neighbors, but our Czech and Slovene histories and cultures are incredibly similar. Im no expert on this but i would say Slovenes have more similar history and culture to Czechs rather than Croats or Serbs. Holly Roman Empire -> Austrian Empire, Habsbourgs -> Austria-Hungary. Then Czechs formed Czechoslovakia with Slovaks and Slovenes formed Kingdom with Serbs and Croats. Then both countries had socialism, then both went relatively early NATO and the EU. We both have a lot of Germanic cultural influence, Poles call us Czechs Slavic Germans while others call Slovenes as Slavic Austrians/Swiss. We are two most developed Slavic nations, with this kinda practical, relaxed, cold-headed, peaceful mentality focused on well-being and development. Also Jože Plečnik had a huge influence on the architecture in Prague, he for example re-developed Prague Castle which is one of the most famous heritage we have. Also the hilly landscape is quite similar, although we Czechs dont have sea and rather small mountains, but those magical hills with forests, valleys, medieval castles and chateaus, catholic shrines near old dusty roads, lakes, farms, villages full of old farmhouses from Austria-Hungary and ponds, that romantic central european vibe is incredibly similar.I think its kinda shame that we dont have common border. Imagine this Poland-Czechia-Slovakia-Slovenia cooperation, that would be awesome.

Very good video. In almost 3 minutes you covered our country much better than Geography Now did.

Slovenia is cool, very underrated imo

List of regions I’d like to see after you’ve done every country: Tibet, Hawaii, Siberia, Crimea, life for the indigenous peoples of North, Central, and South America, as well as the indigenous peoples of Australia, Africa, and New Zealand. And by life I mean how they lived before and after European colonization which led to say Canada or America. Great Video by the way! Keep up the good work!

fun fact: if you go to any coastal slovenian city and shout trst je naš the people there will love you (this is not a joke)

thank u Mr History for another cool vd

I really admire your dedication to this series and your channel. It’s really fantastic!

We're glad to border with Slovenia 🇮🇹 🇸🇮

This Slovakia episode it’s good

Just got a pretty sweet Slovenian military surplus jacket. Figured I’d learn a bit more about where it came from. I’m not disappointed

Great video!

Thanks mate, I am looking for more on Slovienian Identies if you could help?

We are exceptionally good at sports in general. For the fact that the population pool is 2.1 million, we have an insane amount of extremely good athletes in many disciplines. We have won gold medals in different olympic sports, Tina Maze is arguably the best female skier of all time, youve shown Luka, there is also Dragič, we are also very good at cycling (Pogačar, Roglič) and many more.

Excellent video

you da goat fr

From what we're taught in history class in Slovenia there was a massive amount of opposition to joining the rest of the South Slavs but we reluctantly did due to the fact that Serbia had international recognition while Slovenia & Croatia had none due to being just regions of Austria-Hungary essentially. It was more of a "we kinda have to..." rather than "YAAAY WE LOVE EACH OTHER :) " but in fairness there wasn't any deep animosity either.

Slovenia does look beautiful

Can you please tell me what your next countries are going to be

didn't know this country was so based

Slo-DUO part 2! Solomon Islands are next.

Slovenia is a great gateway to the Balkans, though I can't forgive them for creating Talking Tom. Up next... the Solomon Islands! 🇸🇧

Why is this so short, I would prefer it to be at least slightly longer - at least long enough to be exactly like the previous videos in accuracy - Romania video was exactly perfect in lenght and detail - this one was a bit lacklustre

That is not a super quick history, but the full version

Slovenia is basically like mix of Chechia and switzerland For one because being under someone boot made them be able to survive as country many years later due to good economy management by opresor and second because they isolated from the rest of yugoslavia at time of the war and it only showed how smart nation they are

"then they fell to the german franks" ... I love how people who are not into history get confused by "german franks" XD

damn that was really fast :D

1:46 what does this have to do

Hello im a slovanian love the video but you didn’t mentionthqt we gave the ship materials to america

Don't forget Melania!

Joining Yugoslavia is the single greatest mistake Slovenia ever made.

Is Russia not considered a Slavic country? Doesn't Russian oil make it richer than Slovenia? By the way I loved the Brinjevic I was given by my Slovenian hosts when visiting this beautiful country

The richest slavic country of the world 😮😮😮😮

Nice! But one thing you got wrong: it depends on source, but czechia is the actual richest per capita slavic country.

🇮🇹♥️🇸🇮

I do like that the Austrians did not Austrianize people they ruled. Other countries would've at least force the language on them. Or did they, does anyone around here know?

I clicked because I thought this was a Slovakia Video, I am thoroughly disappointed.

slovenians you mean alpin serbs >:)

Make a super quick history of Switzerland

Slovakia is a beautiful country.. l liked Bratislava a lot ..
