The process of dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the establishment of the new Czechoslovak state began at the end of October 1918. With the effect of modern theories of nationalism and micro-analysis the study surveys the behaviour and statements of people connected with the local governments in three neighbouring localities in the north of Slovakia in the time following the acceptance of the Declaration of the Slovak Nation (30th October 1918). The study analyses six different local government authorities, which arose in the surveyed localities. The subjects of study are the conditions for the formation of local government authorities, their proclamations towards nations (Slovak and Hungarian), states (Hungary and Czechoslovakia) and their means of mutual cooperation.
