Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt at comparing some peculiarities of Bulgarians and Slovenes in the era of nationalism when they established their modern states through separation from the disintegrated Ottoman and Habsburg empires. In the process of nation building, they experienced mighty ideological influences from the West as well as from the East which shaped their development. Particular attention is paid to education as a core factor of their emancipation in general and a strategic investment in modernization. Impulses from Austrian educational centers, student migration as well as establishment of an “own” university are regarded as well.
