SOLO in ANCIENT Bratislava aka Pozsony

[@stanleyyyyyyyyyyy]

very nice video, it was a fun to watch even for me as a Slovak national living in Bratislava for 20 years. This city had an important role throughout the history, and we Slovaks should not forget that the history was built by all our nations together.

Thanks mate I’m very happy you liked it. I’m very interested in Slovak history as well. The whole region really

[@flywings111]

I'm also from Felvidék - my grandparents - as intellectual Hungarians - were kicked out by the Czechoslovaks in 1947 because of the Benes decreets. It didn't matter that my grandfather was a well respected doctor who saved lives of everyone, including Jews during WWII. Everything was taken away from them, even their house too. And this because of their nationality.

[@matuskriska8361]

Happened to my grandparents too but they were Slovaks living in Hungary so stop crying

[@flywings111]

There were barely any Slovaks living in Hungary, while there were many Hungarians living in Czechoslovakia. The situation cannot even be compared. However I find it funny how defensive you Slovaks are, which is of course no surprise: you have a lot of insecurities and minority complexes because you lack any history and now you try to create one for yourselves while you constantly lie about what happened in the past. @@matuskriska8361

@@matuskriska8361 Were they also forced to leave their home, leave their belongings behind like thousands of Hungarians in Slovakia were back in those bad old days? Can't compare different bad treatments unless you give more details on your grandparents' fate. The Benes Decrees imposed collective punishment on Hungarians and Germans by depriving them of citizenship; fundamental rights, such as to pensions and health care benefits. Discriminative measures are wrong and any form of 'collective punishment' is shameful and simply unacceptable.

@perseus274Slavic names/words doesn’t equal Slovak! It could be Croatian or Serb also bordering with Hungary from the south.

[@gabor247]

@perseus274 Croatia was an integral part of Hungary for 800 years. Slavonija, Dalmacija and Vojvodina (today Serbia).

[@GH_Eagle]

I was trying hard but i couldnt find slovakia and the slovakians as a nation upuntil trianon. Wonder why 🙂

[@ejo5336]

Well then start study and maybe you will find that Thurzo fluently spoke and wrote in slovak.

2:34= Hátad mögött volt magyarul kiírva bármi ‽ Mert mintha a " welcome " mellett " űdvözöljűk " lenne kiírva .

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Nice video. Withwillie.

[@gabortoth3706]

You´re a nice guy Willie, but it´s a historical fact, that until Trianon Pressburg/Pozsony had only a small slovakian minority, so you could really mention that. Even slovaks have to learn to deal with facts.

[@stanislavbozik6970]

Slovaks know the facts very well, and these facts also include the fact that before Trianon, most people of German nationality lived in Bratislava, the Hungarians were the second largest, but I never once read anywhere that the Austrians or the Germans were traumatized by it, still only because of you Hungarians you can't sleep for 100 years, it's really funny.

[@gabortoth3706]

@@stanislavbozik6970 because the city never was a part of Austria or Germany, why should they be traumatized? Also your fact is not true for the the whole existence of the Kingdom of Hungary, Pozsony became a germainzed city when the Habsburgs were the kings.

[@peterjakub5480]

Actually it is not that simple. It was not only small minority of slovaks. The majority in 19th century were the germans. Slovaks/hungarians were like 50/50 and only depanded on which part of city. Please dont consider the census from the end of 19th beg. of 20th century as a reliable source since it was the peak of magyarization process. And now, do you know how many names the city held since the first note from 907? 13? There were slavic names at the very beginning and also Prešporok is a slovak abbreviation of Pressburg. Do you know what is the origin of name Pozsony? A slavic duke Požan/Božan. Simply said, city of Bratislava has a history older than 1000 years and each period was different even from nationality point of view. Btw. my family comes from today Bratislava part called Dubravka (Kaltenbrunn/Hidegkut) and this part was established by croatians and slovaks. To wrap up, slovaks has absolutely no problem to confirm a mixed history of the city, german, hungarian and slovak.

[@gabortoth3706]

@@peterjakub5480 no, in 1910 41,82% of the city´s inhabitans were germans, 40,53 % hungarians and 14,92 % slovak.
