Slavic congress

The Slavic Congress of 1908 was a significant cultural and political event held in Prague, where representatives of various Slavic nations gathered. Its primary aim was to promote Slavic unity and discuss issues affecting Slavic peoples under different empires, particularly the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires. The congress emphasized cultural heritage, language, and the need for cooperation among Slavic ethnic groups. It fostered a sense of shared identity and laid the groundwork for future political movements, ultimately contributing to the rise of nationalism in the region during the early 20th century.
