This monograph presents a systematic and comprehensive regional analysis of demographic developments in Slovakia from the late nineteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century. The study focuses on a key phase of demographic transition, commonly referred to as the first demographic revolution, during which a fundamental and irreversible shift from extensive to intensive patterns of population reproduction occurred. Drawing on historical-demographic research and advanced quantitative methods, the authors examine the dynamics and spatial differentiation of three core demographic processes: nuptiality, fertility, and mortality. Beyond the analysis of individual demographic indicators and processes, the publication situates demographic change within a broader socioeconomic and cultural framework, taking into account factors such as literacy, the degree of urbanization, religiosity, and ethnic structure. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of marriage legislation, patterns of infant mortality, and the effects of modernization on the emergence of conscious fertility control. Through the application of regression modeling, the authors identify the determinants underlying regional disparities in demographic behavior, thereby offering a nuanced interpretation of the formation of a modern demographic regime in Slovakia. The monograph is supplemented by clearly structured statistical cartograms and comparative analyses that situate Slovak demographic developments within a wider European context.
