From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nationalism promoting the cultural unity of Slovenes
Slovenian nationalism
is the
nationalism
that asserts that
Slovenes
are a nation and promotes the cultural unity of Slovenes.
[1]
Slovenian nationalism first arose in response to the influx of ideas of nationalism from the
French Revolution
that arrived in Slovenia when the French forces of
Napoleon Bonaparte
made Slovenia part of the
Illyrian Provinces
from 1809 to 1813.
[1]
Slovenian nationalists such as
Anton Koro?ec
endorsed Yugoslav unification during
World War I
as a means to free Slovenia from
Austro-Hungarian
rule.
On 8 May 1989, after the legalization of other political parties by Slovenia's reformist Communist Party-led government, new political parties published the May Declaration, demanding the formation of a sovereign, democratic, and pluralist Slovenian state.
[3]
A referendum on independence from Yugoslavia was held on 26 December 1990 with a majority of Slovenians supporting independence.
[3]
Slovenia declared independence on 25 June 1991.
[3]
Following independence, members of minority groups ? mostly from other former
Yugoslav
nations ? who had failed to apply for residency in the new nation
had their records stricken
, leaving them in the country illegally.
