Summary/Abstract: Historically, the attention and efforts of Czech and Slovak historians have been directed towards national history rather than general history. This was because Czech and Slovak historians, who were never very numerous, considered it their natural and primary duty to concentrate all their efforts on studying the history of their nation. It was thus, especially during the national oppression from which the Czechs and Slovaks had to suffer under the Habsburg monarchy, that Czechoslovak historiography, the development of which went hand in hand with the whole cultural life of the two nations, was able to fulfill its noble task in the national revival of Czechs and Slovaks.
