The presented case study deals with registered unemployment and welfare work for unemployed people in chosen district of Czechoslovak Republic. The aim is to compare situation in whole country with situation in the Žilina District in 1935 based on selected macroeconomic indicator: unemployment. In the same time, the study analyses the forms of economic assistance for the unemployed. This research is primary based on the study of contemporary statistical reports in combination with archive materials that are placed in the National Archive in Prague and in the Slovak National Archive in Bratislava. The Czechoslovak government tried to mitigate socio-economic impact of unemployment through various measures. Unfortunately, these measures were only partially successful in the Žilina District.

The paper’s main goal is to analyse the impact of the Munich Agreement, the Vienna Award, and the Polish territorial claim on Slovakia in 1938. After November 1938, many factories, power plants, millions of inhabitants, and even whole regions of Czechoslovakia remained in a territory that Hungary, Germany, or Poland occupied. The paper focuses on losses in three key areas: population, territory, and industry. This research is primarily based on the study of contemporary statistical reports in combination with archive materials that are placed in the National Archive in Prague and in the Slovak National Archive in Bratislava. In conclusion, it can be stated that the change of borders in 1938 had a negative impact on Slovakia and on the whole state. A new border meant a radical intervention in the republic’s economy, ethnic composition, and territorial integrity. As a result, the republic lost around 30 % of its territory, on which approximately a third of the population lived.

During the interwar period in Czechoslovakia, the chemical industry ranked among the relatively smaller industries in terms of the number of workers. Its importance lay in the production of strategic products and semi-finished products, which were necessary for the functioning and defence of the state. The main aim of the presented study is to analyse developments in the industry of dry distillation of wood (part of the chemical industry) during the post-crisis depression (1934 to 1935) and during the period of economic recovery (1936 to 1938). The effect of the Munich Agreement on the investigated production is not the subject of this study. The dry distillation of wood in Slovakia was mainly comprised of two industrial entities in the subject period: the Jozef Pálffy Chemical Factory in Smolenice (a plant in Dobrá Voda was part of it) and a modern plant in Likier belonging to the Dr. Blasberg Company. In conclusion, it can be stated that the crisis and economic depression that followed had a fundamental impact on their employment, supply, production and sales opportunities. Both entities, however, survived the examined period, albeit with relatively great difficulties, which were manifested until 1938.
