History
The presence of the Slovak ethnicity in the territory of present-day Hungary dates back to the Middle Ages. In the 17th and 18th century, some Slovak migrants started settling in the northern parts of present-day Hungary and developed strong mutual language contact with the Hungarians and later also settled in the southern regions. Following a period of Slovak demand for autonomy within Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary rivalries between Slovaks and Hungarians arose. According to the Treaty of Trianon from 1920, most of Slovak-speaking territories of the pre-war Kingdom of Hungary were recognized as part of Czechoslovakia. Some Slovaks, however, remained within the borders of post-Trianon Hungary. According to Austro-Hungarian data from 1900 there was 192,200 Slovaks in the territory of present-day Hungary (2.8 % of total population). In the opinion of Slovak demographers, between 500,000 - 550,000 Slovaks remained in the territory of present-day Hungary after World War I. According to Hungarian census 399,176 people spoke Slovak (5%) in 1920. The population movement from Hungary to Slovakia that took place after 1920 was repeated after World War II when about 73,000 Slovaks resettled from Hungary to Slovakia.
