Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the analysis of the development of Education in Kingdom of Hungary in the 18th and 19th centuries. On the Hungarian territory there were no legitimate Slovak universities and the instruction was provided only in German and Hungarian languages. Above all, Hungarianization had been enforced by laws. The answer of the young Slovak generation to the Hungarian suppression was various students´ activities, societies and associations supporting the development of the Slovak language and identity. They had been considered by that government to be unlawful and illegitimate and therefore they were hampered by cruel and atrocious reprisals.
