    I marked the problem of the phrasing only. We do not talk about the 15th century Oklahoma or the bronze age Vatican.

    "Present day territories of Slovakia in the 19th and 20th century" would have been of a lesser problem?

    Is impossible to argue with a hungarian, they need to show their "superiority" in any context.

    Nowadays, countries show off their superiorites using economic success and living standards. Slovakia is more superior than Hungary in that regard.

    And education, slovakians are peaceful people, not some frustrated people for some lands where they were not the majority.

    More punctually equal with Hungary:

    GDP per capita HUN: 23,236
    GDP per capita SK: 26,616

    HDI HUN: 0.818
    HDI SK: 0.830

    PISA 2012 HUN math: 477, reading: 488, science: 494
    PISA 2012 SK math: 482, reading: 463, science: 471

    GDP growth HUN Q1: 3,5%, Q2: 3,6%, Q3: 3,1%
    GDP growth SK Q1: 2,3%, Q2: 2,5%, Q3: 2,5%

    etc. Same situation.

    Both are equal, and soon equal with Uganda if the Fico & Orbán duo continues their kleptocracy.

    There was no ethnic identification of land before era of nationalism, only geographic, historical and linguistic. And it remained so for the most part of the nationalistic era. If you went to an area where people speak Hungarian, you went "na Maďare". If you went to an area where people speak Slovak, or Slovjak, or even Slovenian, you went "na Slovensko". And if you went somewhere near Košice, you went "na Košicko".
    These concepts are vague and very approximate and nobody minded them just as you don't meditate over some random area "around there".

    And this thread is more about some old villager photos and bickering about nonsense than about Slovakia in 19th & 20th century, anyway.
    You can name it "another TA thread" and it won't matter.

    You mean Felvidék. It marks a difference in pronunciation.
    And there are more felvidéki villagers than Felvidék itself on the photos.
