=[[Paleolithic]] Age (around 25

Detailed History of Slovakia (till 1714)

Technical notes:

History till the late 8^th century A. D. is given only as an overview, afterwards it is given in detail.

All years up to 100 B.C. are, of course, approximative (but as exact as possible).

To avoid confusion, the term ”Historic Hungary” is used for Hungary before 1918, and ”present-day (or today’s) Hungary” for today’s Hungary.
