The Settlement of the Slovaks on the Territory of Modern-Day Romania in the 18th and 19th Centuries

Summary/Abstract: In the presented study, we aimed to awaken and deepen knowledge about the history of the Slovak minority in modern-day Romania. We focused on the settlement of the Slovaks on the territory of modern-day Romania in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the literature dealing with this topic, we often find only partial information on this issue. Authors usually focus on Slovak settlement in one or two Romanian regions or areas. Therefore, in our study, we tried to point out all the significant regions throughout modern-day Romania where Slovaks migrated in the observed periods. We examine the migration of Slovaks to the regions of Arad–Banat, Bihor– Sălaj, Satu Mare, Maramureș, as well as to Bukovina. In addition, we also present the reasons for migration and the individual waves in which Slovaks moved to Romanian regions.
