1914 – 1918A war for a monarchy that did not survive itVojna za monarchiu, ktorá ju neprežila
SlovakiaSlovensko
Slovak men were conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian army and died in Galicia, in Serbia and on the Isonzo for a state that would not outlive the war. At home the army requisitioned grain and livestock, bread was rationed and ran short, and the harvest was brought in by women and children. Wartime censorship silenced what little Slovak press had survived Magyarization, and talk of national rights was treason. Four years of that used up whatever loyalty to Budapest was still left in Slovak villages — which is why, in the autumn of 1918, the old kingdom simply fell away here and nobody defended it.Slovenských mužov odviedli do rakúsko-uhorskej armády a umierali v Haliči, v Srbsku a na rieke Soči za štát, ktorý vojnu neprežil. Doma armáda rekvirovala obilie a dobytok, chlieb bol na lístky a chýbal, žatvu robili ženy a deti. Vojnová cenzúra umlčala aj tú trochu slovenských novín, čo maďarizáciu prežili, a reč o národných právach bola vlastizradou. Štyri roky takéhoto života minuli aj zvyšok lojality k Budapešti, ktorý na slovenskom vidieku ešte bol — a preto sa na jeseň 1918 staré kráľovstvo tu jednoducho rozsypalo a nikto ho nebránil.
