    My grandparents were born in/near Bratislava, then Pressburg, during the Hungarian rule, the year 1890 and came to the US in 1912 to avoid the coming war. What you have been saying about the origins of our Slavic people is similar to what my grandparents and Slovak family have told me. Your series on Slavic people makes me feel proud of my heritage. Vd'aka.

    • @matepapp4271
      @matepapp4271 Před 6 lety +6

      It's funny, cuz Pozsony and "Bratislava" have nothing in common. Pozsony was a newly founded castle and settlement by the Hungarians and "Bratislava" is from the chief of Pannonia, was a vassal of the Frankish Empire called Braslav. He was "slovenian" or more likely carinthian slav the ruler of Blatenski Grad or Mosaburg which located in the Southern part of Balaton. The name of Bratislava was a mistranslation from Pavel Jozef Šafárik, he thought it was Bratislav not Braslav, and he was ruling near to Pozsony but he didn't. The name was officially changed in 1919 from Prešpork to Bratislava.

    • @alexanderrakai6606
      @alexanderrakai6606 Před 6 lety +6

      And what about the recently discovered inscription on the coins which are founded in Bratsilava (these coins dated to year cca. 1000)? The inscription is "PRESLAVVA CIV(ITAS)". The last ruler of Great Moravia (or just local ruler in Bratislava) was Predslav. Even in the "Altais, Altasian?" anals (idk how to write in english :D in Slovak is "Altašský") the name of Bratislava is "Preslavvaspurch". There is this Predslav en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predslav . And about Šafáriks "Bratislav", Šafárik dont derived the name Bratislav from the name Braslav. In 1042 Bratislava was mentioned as "Brecisburg/Brezesburg" and Šafárik thought (mistakenly) that Bratislava was founded by the Czech king Břetislav I. Břetislav was translated in to Slovak lang. as "Bratislav", and the suffix "a" in the end is just a typical suffix for the Slavic cities. Btw, that is wrote by Šafárik in his own work "Slovanské starožitnosti", 1837. Those "Braslav things" comes from the ..ehm, "historians".

      "Before World War I, the city had a population that was 42% German, 41% Hungarian and 15% Slovak (1910 census, the population was influenced by Magyarization). The first post war census in 1919 declared the city's ethnic composition at 36% German, 33% Slovak and 29% Hungarian but this may have reflected changing self-identification, rather than an exchange of peoples. Many people were bi- or trilingual and multicultural." - from the very exact link you shared ... as you can see, both percentages are present. it was a turbulent era so it was very difficult to determine the exact proportions but the only thing that matters about it is to keep the all 3 in mind as sizeable populations for the city
