AnnSonn xtv , those beautiful buildings were built by Hungary , as this piece of land was part of Hungary for a thousand years , but was given to Czechsolvakia in 1918 when this country was created.
@@evasmith2705 1918 was the year that Austro-Hungarian empire tumbled down, Slovakia was not given to anybody by anyone and neither was Czechia,this empire was tumbled down because of it´s loss in WW1 and all the countries that were under it´s domination could finally be separated again. Slovakia is an old country with long history and an old nation which land was just taken over by a much bigger empire and then freed again.
I can see you have a good imagination as you can recreate a whole history to be just like you wish, but maybe you should also read some books or even just a wiki page, and than you can say something about the country you call "lala land".

I did not waste an nearly hour watching this. it`s beautiful. as they say right balance between other countries history. however, Slovakia is not east country for me. It is heart of Europe. and if someone attack this country, because it`s heart, strategically he beat the whole EU to be honest. please safe this jewel for next generations.
@Zuzka Mudron Not all Slavscountry share the same culture and history. Slovak and we Slovene were back in history the same nation before Hungarian have come to Pannonia. We name our country Slovenija and Slovakia has Slovak name Slovensko. Our women are Slovenke, and Slovak women are Slovenke. Our language is Slovenščina and Slovak language is Slovenčina. All we were Sloveni in old days. Sloveni are part of Slavs, not all of them.
@Zuzka Mudron I know. All people always look at kings, rulers etc. Nobody cares about true ruler - demos - people! Without peoples no king could do anything.
A country is more than a collection of walls and windows. What about people, culture, food, language, infrastructure...? It is really a shame if that is all someone looks at when visiting a new country.
@ Attila Tas Ciko : Keep dreaming Mr. Attila !!!! Hungary was ruled for over 150 years by the Turks. So remember ! Slovakia will be Hungarian, when Hungary will be Turkish, meaning - NEVER !!!! Just because your ancestors came in, uninvited mind you, built a few castles , levied extraorbitant taxes on Slovak people, and called it Felvidek, meaning - Upper Hungary, for Peat's sake. And remember, When Turkey ruled Hungary, in BRATISLAVA , in Saint Martin's Church, 11 Hungarian Kings were corronated, along with 8 Queens ( their wives ) , just because Hungary was ruled by the Turks, and so " Pozony ", today's BRATISLAVA, was pretty safe place for your Kings to be corronated over there !!!! So let me remind you : Slovakia is for Slovaks, Hungary is for Hungarians, and you can do nothing to change the reality, as much as you can't turn the clock of history back, no matter, how hard you may try. I love Magyar Orszagh and my Hungarian friends, but I LOVE SLOVAKIA MUCH,MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!! Seretlek Slovakia, a Vizontlatasra Magyar Orszagh........
Slo VAH kia! Not Slo VACK ia. All "a's" are soft in the Slovak language. No such word as Slovakians, they are Slovaks. The accent is usually on the first syllable, i.e. BRA ti slava, NOT Bra ti SLAVA. So far only one video on UTUBE has pronounced the capital of Slovakia correctly. I am Slovak, I wish these people would do a little bit of research and not disrespect the culture, by giving people very incorrect sounding of the words.
The video is full of interesting shots of multiple locations from around Slovakia but that awful music soundtrack sounds like something right out of the 1950's, as does the stuffy sounding pedantic narrator. Normally I generally enjoy the various British accents, but this one smacked of elitism and snobbery.

The Hungarians' constant fear of their own demise encourages them to expand. Were it not for the continuous absorption of resources from the surrounding area, the Hungarian nation might no longer exist. As "the greatest Hungarian thinker of the 20th century" István Bibó wrote, the Hungarians mingled "with all sorts of ballast in the world". Count Štefan Sečéni (Széchenyi, Széchenyi; * September 21, 1791, Vienna - † April 8, 1860 Döbling) was a "Hungarian" nobleman and politician and was the dominant figure of the reform period in the 1930s in Austria-Hungary declared: " Hungarians do not yet exist, they will only emerge. " This famous statement was recorded by Franz von Löher in his 1874 book "Hungarians and Other Hungarians" (Die Magyaren und andere Ungarn). In the text of the book, he clearly distinguishes between Uhr and Hungarian, and this difference can be seen in the title itself.
