Summary/Abstract: Slovak politics experienced a relatively turbulent period of development prior to the introduction of the communist regime in 1948. At this time the Slovak territory was located in various states, all with rather divergent characteristics. The tradition of a presidential post began with the creation of the First Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 and continues to this day. As the character and nature of the political societies of which Slovakia was a part during the twentieth century changed, so also did the role of the president.
