History

Carinthia was settled by Slavic tribes around the 6th century. They formed a new people, called Karantanians, and Carinthia became the central part of the duchy of Karantania, the first state of Old Slovenians and also the first stable Slavic state ever. Karantania lost autonomy in the early 9th century when it fell under Frankish power. The Duchy of Carinthia was later controlled by the Habsburgs (1335 - 1918), under the Holy Roman Empire and later Austria-Hungary. It was populated by Austrian-Germans and Slovenes. After World War I military forces of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia) occupied southern Carinthia.
