The possibility of the foundation of the Matica slovenská was propelled by the foundation of the same institutions in Serbia, and the Czech Republic. The Matica existed uniquely till 1875 when it was abrogated by Hungarian organization (around then Slovakia was a part of the Kingdom of Hungary). The principle purpose behind abolishment was that the Matica was “against the government” and an “anti-patriotic” institution.
The Matica couldn’t continue its scientific activities till the dissolution of the Kingdom of Hungary and the foundation of Czechoslovakia in 1918. The second Matica was opened on August 5, 1919, and it played a significant role in further improvement of Slovak culture.
