Summary/Abstract: The monography examines the ethnic population data of the census 1950 in Czechoslovakia. Data sets for this census could not be analyzed previously because the data have only recently become available. Besides the data of the six nationalities of Slovakia (Czechs, Slovaks, Russians, Poles, Hungarians, Germans), the ethnic data series contain data of other and unknown nationalities. In our book, we examine the nationality data by administrative units (regions, districts), the size of settlements, the proportion and number of nationalities living in settlements. We examine the changes of the aggregate data of the majority and minority nationalities, as well as the changes of each nationality separately. Based on the analyzed data, the patterns of the ethnic structure of the nationalities in Slovakia emerge at the time of the first census after World War II. Graphs and tables help the cognition of the settlement structure of each nationality in a more nuanced way.
