Map of the nationalities and languages of Hungary, from : Prof. Anton Leo Hickmanns geographisch-statistischer Taschen-Atlas von Österreich-Ungarn (Vienna, 1900)
The Slovaks comprised one of the smaller nationalities in the multi-ethnic Habsburg Empire. In 1910 around 2.1 million people professed their adherence to the Slovakian linguistic group, 3.8 % of the population of the total Monarchy.
The Hungarians – or in a narrower ethnic sense Magyars – saw themselves as a nation state within the Kingdom of Hungary. In the realm of the Crown of St Stephen, the Magyars were not only the dominant language group but also the largest ethnic group.
