Note: Settled by Slovenes in the 6th century CE, the region was ruled by Franks and Bavarians. It was held by Austria from 1335 through the 19th century, except for a short period under Napoleon's Illyrian Provinces (1809-1813). Slovenia became part of the former Yugoslavia from 1918, and became fully independent in 1991. The official language is Slovene. |
