Abstract

The nationality problem was an object of a lively discussion during the six year existence of the Slovak state. Two main streams should be distinguished in this process. Both of them go back to the ideas of Christian socialism proclaimed by Tiso as early as the period of the First Czechoslovak republic. One of these streams, however, betrayed that idea: it has collaborated with the German national socialism and aimed at so called Slovak national socialism. Only the other stream headed by Chladný-Hanoš met the idea of Christian socialism and thus represented a real critical contribution.
