United Slovenia

Peter Kosler's Map of the Slovene Land and Provinces, designed during the Spring of Nations in 1848, became the symbol of United Slovenia.

United Slovenia (Slovene: Zedinjena Slovenija or Združena Slovenija) is the name originally given to an unrealized political programme of the Slovene national movement, formulated during the Spring of Nations in 1848.[1] The programme demanded (a) unification of all the Slovene-inhabited areas into one single kingdom under the rule of the Austrian Empire, (b) equal rights of Slovene in public, and (c) strongly opposed the planned integration of the Habsburg monarchy with the German Confederation. The programme failed to meet its main objectives, but it remained the common political program of all currents within the Slovene national movement until World War I.
