Historical Development Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) The territory of contemporary Slovenia has a rich history, with the earliest evidence of human habitation dating back roughly 250,000 years. The first state on this territory was formed by Celtic tribes in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. The Roman Empire annexed their state around 10 BC. The next centuries saw invasions of the Huns and Germanic tribes until Slavs finally came to dominate the area. In the 14th century, most of the territory was taken over by the Habsburgs. They retained control right up to the end of the First World War. Reformation spread across Slovenian territory in the middle of the 16th century and helped create the foundations of the Slovene literary language. The birth of the Slovenian nation in the modern sense of the word can be traced back to the reign of Emperor Joseph II (1765–1790). That was the time of the introduction of compulsory education and primary education with Slovenian as language of instruction, as well as of cultural-linguistic activities by Slovenian intellectuals. Napoleon captured parts of the present-day Slovenian territory, along with parts of present-day Croatia, and created the Illyrian Provinces adjoined to the French state, with Ljubljana as the capital. The short-lived French rule (1809-1813) improved the position of the Slovene language in schools but did not abolish feudalism. In 1867, the Austrian Empire was transformed into the dual Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Most of the territory of the present-day Slovenia was retained in the Austrian part of the monarchy. After Austro-Hungarian defeat in the World War I, an independent state of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs was formed in 1918, quickly succeeded by the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The latter became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929. During World War II, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia disintegrated, and Slovenian territory was divided between Germany, Italy, and Hungary. In 1941, the Liberation Front of the Slovenian Nation was founded in Ljubljana, and it launched armed resistance against the occupying forces. At the end of the war, the partisan army liberated the whole of ethnic Slovenia which became the People’s Republic of Slovenia and a constitutive part of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia. By 1947, all private property had been nationalised. After the break with the Soviet Union in 1948, Yugoslavia began with a milder version of socialism based on common ownership and self- management. Following the death of the long-time president Josip Broz Tito in 1980, the economic and political situation deteriorated, and this ultimately led to the end of Yugoslavia ten years later. On 23 December 1990, 88% of Slovenia's voters supported independence that was formally declared by the Republic of Slovenia on 25 June 1991. The very next day, the Yugoslav Army attacked the newly formed state. A truce was called after a ten-day war, and in October 1991, the last soldiers of the Yugoslav Army left Slovenia. The European Union recognised Slovenia in January 1992. The United Nations accorded its membership in May 1992. In 2004 Slovenia joined NATO (on 29 March) and the European Union (on 1 May). It became part of the Eurozone on 1 January 2007. In 2010, Slovenia also joined the OECD. DID YOU FIND WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?

    ISSN 1854-0805 (business culture environment politics sports) 05 May 09 200th ANNIVERSARY OF THE ILLYRIAN PROVINCES EUROPEAN ELECTIONS 2009 contents Veronika Stabej History and the future It is not a very common occurrence for nations to celebrate and mark a historical period in which they did not enjoy their own sovereignty and they were a part of some other state formation. Between 1809 and 1813, the present territory of Slovenia found itself under the brief French authority of the Illyrian Provinces, and despite the fact that it was not equally favoured among all strata of the population, it contributed powerfully to raising Slovenian national consciousness and the awareness of freedoms, as well as giving credence to the Slovenian language. The short-lived period of French rule also importantly established the first seeds of Slovenian-French relations. The linden tree that was planted at that time in the Ljubljana Botanical Garden is still alive and thriving today. As a gesture underpinning the friendship and cooperation between the two nations, Slovenian Prime Minister Borut Pahor and French Prime Minister François Fillon, who was on his first official visit to Slovenia in the middle of May, planted a new linden, which we believe will remind the future generations of Slovenian-French friendly ties. 25 Culture 32-35 Slovenian delights Alongside historical achievements, scientific achievements are Alpine flowers in Bohinj Primorska, scent of the Mediterranean of course also very important for our future.

  • Vladimir Sunčič PRESENTATION of a GUIDE on ARCHIVE
    Vladimir Sunčič PRESENTATION OF A GUIDE ON ARCHIVE MATERIALS REGARDING NAPOLEON’S ILLYRIAN PROVINCES Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues: In this presentation I will show in brief the history of the beginning, methodology and structure of the guide on the archive material for the Provinces illyriennes. For publication of the present guide, we are grateful above all to the late Hervé Bastien (1965–1996), an archivist in the Historical Centre of the National Archives in Paris. During one of his travels to Croatia he met with the director of the Croatian State Archives at that time, Josip Kolanović. He proposed the publication of an international guide for the period of Napoleon’s rule and his administration on the eastern coast of the Adriatic and in the territory of the Eastern Alps. Luckily this project coincided with other international projects that were planned by the International Council on Archives and the Council of Europe (collecting sources for the history of Poland, preparing a guide for the material of Comintern in Moscow, etc.) In the beginning the project was bilateral, namely between France and Croatia. Slovenia accepted participation in the project in March 2000 and proposed two archivists to participate in the project. Those were Adrijan Kopitar and Andreja Klasinc Škofljanec. In accordance with quick development of the project, the archives services of Italy, Montenegro and Austria also acceded. Huge support to the project was shown by Ugo Cova, PhD, former director of the State Archives in Trieste; Vladimir Žumer, PhD, former director of the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia; Wilhelm Wadl, PhD, director of the Regional Archives of Carinthia; and Rajko Kalezić, former director of the State Archives of Montenegro.

In identifying the idea of “Illyrism” as applied in nineteenth-century Croatian musical culture, it seems useful to first present the genesis of the term itself and its usage in both Croatian and South-Slavic, as well as in the broader regional cultural and social history. In this, the long temporal development in its construction manifests a multi-layered character, unveiling the complex parallel structure of its sometimes elusive and vague denotations and meanings. It is well known that the term itself, mostly in the form of the noun “Illyricum” (→ Illyria Romana, Illyria Barbara), was used in ancient Rome to geographically denote its province from 167 BC to 10 AD along the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea and its hinterlands.1 Between AD 10 and 35 Roman administrators dissolved the province of Illyricum and divided its lands between the new provinces of Pannonia and Dalmatia.

  • French Image of the Inhabitants of the Illyrian Provinces and the Emergence of South Slavic Nationalisms1
    BALCANICA POSNANIENSIA XXVII Poznań 2020 FRENCH IMAGE OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE ILLyRIAN PROVINCES 1 AND THE EMERGENCE OF SOUTH SLAVIC NATIONALISMS w o J c i e c h sa J k o w s k i Abstract. The Illyrian Provinces, a part of the 1st French Empire which existed in the years 1809–1813, are of- ten portrayed as a political entity which anticipated various projects of the political emancipation of the South Slavs. However, the link between later pan-South-Slavic movements and the Napoleonic political activity is a matter which still remains unclear and deserves some in-depth analysis. Most often the Napoleonic impact on the evolution of the nascent South-Slavic nationalisms is viewed in the perspective of the posterior political atti- tudes of the Croat, Slovene or Serbian elites towards the French, and their own interpretations of the Napoleonic impact on the pan-South-Slavic movement. The proposed paper will concentrate on the opposite approach and will investigate how French perceived the South Slavs in the perspective of the nascent nationalisms, especially that French propaganda presented Napoleon as the savior of the European nations including the „Illyrian” one. But how French defined this „Illyrian” nation? This question can be answered thanks to the French strive for de- scription of the societies inhabiting Illyrian Provinces.

  • Dubrovnik Under French Rule (1810-1814)
    S.Dubrovnik ΔosiÊ, Dubrovnik Annals 4 (2000):under French pp. 103-142 Rule 103 Original paper UDC 949.75DUB:323.269.6≈1813/1814« DUBROVNIK UNDER FRENCH RULE (1810-1814) STJEPAN ΔOSIΔ ABSTRACT: The article hightlights the features of French administration in the Dubrovnik province in the context of the establishment and organization of the Illyrian provinces (1810-1814). It discusses the consequences of the fall of the old aristocratic regime and a series of administrative and social reforms initiated by the French. The Dubrovnik society vigorously opposed the new government policy, partly based bourgeois values. Far-reaching re- forms were hindered by the campaigns that prevailed throughout the short- term French rule. Particular attention is being drawn to the events taking place in the course of the 1813/1814 uprising against the French, the circumstances which led to the Habsburg annexation of Dubrovnik after the fall of Napo- leon. Within a year and a half of its establishment in 1808, the French admin- istration managed to construct a new and long-term organizational framework in Dubrovnik. Napoleon’s war campaigns and victories in central Europe led to closer relations between Dubrovnik and the French Empire. At the time, the Dubrovnik region was incorporated into the Illyrian Provinces, a French geo-strategic unit which primarily consisted of the subjugated countries of the Croat and Slovene ethnical territories. Considering that the circumstances Stjepan ΔosiÊ, member of the Institute for Historical Sciences of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Dubrovnik.

In this short paper I intend to evaluate the data on history of western Illyricum, i.e. the provinces of Pannonia and Dalmatia, which can be found in eight late classical Latin and Greek historiographic works. The main purpose is not to provide the data with historical commentary nor to analyze the value of selected works as historical sources, but to determine the context and type of data depending on historiographic genre, to study the manner in which the data are presented, and to find out if, how and to what extent have the special knowledge of the authors regarding the territory of Illyricum influenced the selection of data, and in what way (if at all) there was a shift in perception of certain significant events in the history of Illyricum from the 3rd to 5th centuries.
