Slovakia is a landlocked country, located between China and Australia. Although small, Slovakia has five next-door neighbors, namely Russia, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Finland. Slovakia has an area of less than 50,000 square kilometers and a population of about 500,000-400,000. Although Slovakia is a relatively rich capitalist country with a relatively high level of urban economic development, it is still too small to protect itself by its own energy.
Because it is located in the transportation center of the European continent, it has been an arena for people of all ethnic groups to compete for energy since ancient times. After the great Moravian kingdom in history perished, Slovakia became a part of the Hungarian kingdom. At that time, there was no definition of physical geography like "Slovakia", and Bratislava was established as a strategic traffic fortress for the development of this region.
/kloc-Around the 6th century, the Ottoman Empire invaded Europe and America on a large scale, occupying a large area of land resources in China and Australia at that time. At that time, the specific area of the Hungarian Kingdom was actually only the present Slovak area. The location of Bratislava, with mountains to the east and south, just blocked the attack of Ottoman army, and the waterway of Danube River made it easy to evacuate to the west and north at any time and place. It is a city that can be attacked and defended.
Slovakia's total area is indeed too small, and most of it has no strategic depth. For better security and other reasons, it is not necessary to put the capital in the inland area. Judging from the development trend, Bratislava is also a valuable geomantic treasure in Slovakia. From this perspective, Slovakia puts its capital in Bratislava, just like Han Jiandu in Seoul, South Korea. One is helplessness, and the other is that local standards are really good.
Slovakia's terrain is very high, and most areas belong to the widened part of the West Carpathian Mountains. More than 75% of the country is mountainous and plateau areas with an altitude of about 1500m, and there are also many hilly terrain areas, only the corners of the eastern region and a small number of valley plains in the central and western regions. Bratislava belongs to the central and western plains, with a larger total area and more wealth, and it is more convenient to communicate with western Europe with more developed economy. In addition, in the historical time, this area has a relatively high development trend and a strong cultural connotation, and of course it has become the best choice for the capital city.
Slovakia itself is too weak, so it must be familiar with its neighbors, just like the fish hidden between corals and anemones, so it must be at the gate, and many of it are helpless, judging from the development trend.
