In the ancient times the territory of present-day Slovenia was inhabited by Celts and Illyrians. The Roman Empire established its rule in the region in the 1st century, after 200 years of fights with the local tribes. The most important ancient Roman cities in this area were: Celeia (now Celje), Emona ( Ljubljana), Nauportus ( Vrhnika ), Poetovio ( Ptuj).
The very first Slavic and Slovenian state was Karantania, which mainly occupied the territory of today's Austrian Carinthia and Slovenian Carinthia. The very beginnings of the Karantanian state are unknown. There is a hypothesis that this state emerged in the 6th century, once Lombards moved west and invaded northern ItalyThe Italian Republic or Italy ( Italian: Italia is a country in the south of Europe, consisting mainly of a boot-shaped peninsula together with two large islands in the Mediterranean Sea: Sicily and Sardinia.

Its capital is Munich. Geography Bavaria shares international borders with Aun dukes and the Republic of Venice. With the exception of Napoleon's 4-year tutelage of parts of modern-day Slovenia and Croatia -- the " Illyrian provinces" -- the Slovenes, living in the provinces of Carinthia, Carniola, Styria, and Istria, lived under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty from the 14th century until 1918. While the elites of these regions were mostly Germanized, the peasantry strongly resisted Germanizing influences and retained their unique Slavic language and culture. After some flirtation with the Reformation in the 16th century, the region was re-Catholicized under the rule of Archduke Ferdinand of Inner Austria (r.1590-1637), who later became Emperor and pursued similar policies in the other Habsburg territories. In the 19th century, Slovene was codified by intellectuals into a literary language, and Slovene nationalist movements began to take hold, initially demanding Slovene autonomy within the framework of the Habsburg Monarchy.
