Abstract (may include machine translation)
After 1919, most Slovak elites accepted being part of the new Czechoslovak state, aside from Andrej Hlinka (1864-1938), his followers, and some other Catholic conservatives, who were critical of the Czechoslovak nation-state, which they considered to be too influenced by the secular and much more liberal Czech political culture. Slovaks who accepted the Czechoslovakist position had confidence in the new Czechoslovak state and initially consented to Czech supremacy in state affairs, in the formulation of economic, educational, military, and other policies, as Slovaks did not possess sufficient experience in these matters: there was an almost total absence of the Slovak middle class before World War I.
