History of Slovakia (1217 words)
Although Czechoslovakia was the only east-central European country to remain a parliamentary democracy[?] from 1918 to 1938, it was plagued with minority problems, the most important of which concerned the country's large German population.
In elections held in June 1992, Vaclav Klaus[?]'s Civic Democratic Party won in the Czech lands on a platform of economic reform, and Vladimir Meciar's Movement for a Democratic Slovakia[?] (HZDS) emerged as the leading party in Slovakia, basing its appeal on fairness to Slovak demands for autonomy.
Vladimir Meciar's semi-authoritarian government seriously breached democratic norms and the rule of law until being ousted in the parliamentary elections of 1998 by a coalition led by Mikulas Dzurinda[?].
