The Martin Declaration

Under the chaotic conditions of the faltering Hungarian Lands, domestic representatives of various Slovak political streams met in Martin and established their largest political body of representation – the Slovak National Council. This new body declared itself for the right of self-determination for Slovaks, therefore declaring its support for the vision of a joint Czechoslovak country. Declaration signatories were unaware of the establishment of Czechoslovakia in Prague, and Hungarian powers could not admit that part of Hungarian territory was now occupied by Czechs.
