"Slovakia, a landlocked
country in Central Europe, boasts a rich history influenced by
various cultures and empires. Its origins can be traced back to the
early Slavic settlements, which emerged around the 5th and 6th
centuries. The Great Moravian Empire, established in the 9th
century, marked a significant milestone in Slovak history as it
became one of the first Slavic states. This era was characterized
by the spread of Christianity and the creation of the Glagolitic
alphabet by Saints Cyril and Methodius, who played a crucial role
in cultural development. The remnants of this early state can still
be felt in the region's traditions and languages."
