Excerpt from A Chapter of the Old Slovenian Democracy

Drava and the Krka, was formed the centre of the first strong Slavonic commonwealth of a Western character. The sixth-century Slavonic settlement here on the marches of the Slavonic world was bound to have far-reaching results for Slavonic state civilisation and evolution. Through their contact with the Franks, Bavarians, and Longobards the Carinthians became the representatives of a high political type. Absolutely right is the assertion of a sociological writer, Peisker, who says: 'But they found a still harder task to build up their rude freedom into an orderly State. This the Carinthians brilliantly performed, remaining in true freedom without a nobility for a long time.' This plain beyond the Drava, called by the Slovenes of to-day the Gosposvetsko Plain, possesses the most ancient traditions of Slavonic freedom. Only in Russian republican Novgorod has Slovene Carinthia a more recent rival.

Krnskigrad was the capital of free Slovene Carinthia in the early Middle Ages, the nucleus of a great Slavonic power in Central Europe, a state which would never have permitted the formation of the German nation as she appears to-day. But it was the misfortune of Carinthia that Christianity was the weapon of her foes, and that the Slovenes of Carinthia were Christianised by a foreign anti-national Church. Had the Carinthian national state had the support of a Christian Church of national origin the collapse of Slovene political independence would never have occurred.
