In the inter-war period, a structure of private insurance companies in which Czech insurance companies had the decisive influence, developed in Slovakia. In the years of existence of the independent Slovak Republic (1939 – 1945), Slovak national capital with government support made a great effort to gain control of the insurance market, mainly at the expense of insurance companies in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. However, the representatives of Reich German insurance companies began a process of capital expansion and demanded a share in the insurance market of the new state. After complex Slovak – German talks, a compromise agreement on division of the property of insurance companies was agreed in November 1940. However, both sides broke this agreement and there was another round of the complex negotiations. The result was strengthening of the position of Slovak national capital and maintenance of the influence of the German insurance companies on the level of the end of the 1930s.

The approach of the associates of the Polish Episcopate of the II PR towards the self-rule was a combination of their own political preferences and the papal doctrine. The Episcopate was differentiated in the respect of political conducts and approach. Until 1926 the bishops approach towards the political activity was “concerned” and tightly connected with the political platforms of National Democracy (ND) and Christian Democracy (ChD). The government camp, as a political contender of National Democracy, aroused mistrust among the hierarchs. After the The May Coup d’Etat (1926), the bishops’ political acitivity ceased to be manifested so clearly. This was due to the Church’s apolitical program, professed by Pope Pius XI. Thanks to him, sacation for natural corporatist initiatives ( self-government included) as basics for a new political system based on decentralization and active populace rose among the clergy. The March Constitution (1921), by refering to the rule of broad latitude and approving the non-govermetal institution functioning next to the government, contibuted to inflaming the spirit of self gorenment and was appreciated by the clergy. The ordinaries approach to the decisions of April Constitution (1935) was not so uniform. The April Constitution, parting from the outlook of duality of public administration brought the limitation of the actual self- governing, subordinating the local government to the central government. The government’s vision of a strong, centralized country, in which the citizen rights are a subject of greater control arouse anxiety and criticism among the members of the Episcopate.

On the background of the nationwide situation in the newly originated Czechoslovakia, the author of the study introduces the specific situation in the town of Košice, which was experiencing an unprecedented growth and turned into the second most populated town in Slovakia, becoming the regional centre of economy, trade, education and culture. Firstly, the housing problems of the former administrative employees, financial and post office employees as well as railway workers had to be solved. Since the state, which had several military crews around the country, suffering from acute housing crisis, was not able to solve this acute problem, the Ministry of National Defence invited the municipalities to help building flats for the families of soldiers as well. The author states that the Košice Town Archive, in the Magistrate file, contains period documentation on the reconstruction of military barracks to flats in the former military camp in Barca, in the south of Košice. By 1927, soldiers obtained 300 flats altogether, through gradual adaptation. The study also deals with the construction of state-owned flats for the military salaried employees, the building and housing cooperative of officers and sergeants, the residential house for the building cooperative of the state employees, the residential house built from the revenues of the ticket loan for the generally beneficial building cooperative of the state and railway employees in Košice. Other topics include the Masaryk’s colony of financial officers in Košice, the Social and Health Care House of the CS Red Cross in Košice, the Northern Folk School and Nursery House. This study also deals with the analysis of architectural projects of individual buildings in question, mentioning their authors as well as an extensive image appendix.

The article focuses on the conclusion of Alfred III of Windischgrätz‘s life, when the prince had to cope with the demise of the Habsburg monarchy and the establishment of the first Czechoslovak Republic. It proves that although this aristocrat was a highly prominent Cisleithanian politician, he was not perceived negatively in Czech political circles given his affiliation with the so-called conservative party of the grand estates. The author suggests that this fact may have influenced the relatively benevolent implementation of the inter-war land reform on the family estates. The prince, who acquired Austrian citizenship after the war, was the largest Austrian landholder in Czechoslovakia. His domain, with its core in western and south-western Bohemia, included the Jablonica estate in western Slovakia. The author pays particular attention to the fate of this part of the family estate. He analyses the course of the land reform there, including the transfer of part of the forests to the Ministry of National Defence for the purposes of a military shooting range, the allocation of the residual estates, etc., in the broader context of the Windischgrätz domain in Czechoslovakia. It proves that Alfred III sacrificed a considerable part of the Jablonica estate in an attempt to secure better conditions for the reform in Bohemia. His endeavours were successful and he was able to protect most of the original family domain; in the case of the Jablonica estate, it was only a small fragment for the reasons mentioned above. The author sees the reasons for the relative success of the prince and his heirs in the negotiations with the Czechoslovak state on the implementation of the reform primarily in their willingness to reach an agreement. Conversely, the fact that the Windischgrätzs were able to rely on the support of Austrian diplomacy is considered to be a marginal factor. Its role in the struggle to preserve the family property, as the author shows, was not very significant.

In inter-war Czechoslovakia, the relations of the Slovaks to Czech politics acquired a qualitatively new level. The autonomist Slovak National party (Slovenská národná strana) was an example. In the period 1919 – 1932, the Czechoslovak National Democratic Party (Československá národnodemokratická strana) played the part of a potential ally in its politics. In questions of programme, they both declared the need to define Slovakia as a territorial unit, that is a demand for autonomy and the need to solve the Slovak question. They were divided by their attitude to the national identity of the Slovaks. The Slovak party spoke of the separate national identity of the Slovaks, while the Czech party supported Czechoslovak national unity. Their attempts to cooperate culminated in their joint participation in the 1929 parliamentary elections, and the participation of the Slovak National Party members in the parliamentary group of the Czech party, which broke up in 1932 as a result of deepening disputes.
