Was Great Moravia real? And was it really a "Slovak empire" tragically destroyed by invading asian Hungarians, like Slovak nationalists like to claim?
>>16555520Yes, but the predominant Slavic people within it weren't Slovaks, but the Moravians, during its tenure, it was one of the "big four powers" in Europe, the other powers being the Frankish Empire, Bulgaria, and the ERE.
>>16555520Slovaks were fucking serfs in Great Moravia, like in every state they were part of, and like everything that is of any value in the Visegrad region, it was run by Czechs. Slovak Empire, right, lmfao.
>>16555520Despite being called great Moravia it's definitely more of a Slovak state than a Czech one.
>>16555545Moravians*, and Slovaks were mostly independent pastoralists, not indentured farmers.
>>16555553Bold claim, have you got a single fact to back that up?
bump
>>16555520No, it’s mostly fake actually. There’s some interesting takes on this topic regarding that. The leaders were invading Slavs, but the peasants were all Germans.
