In the 19th century, the society of the Habsburg monarchy underwent a fundamental transformation. The changes associated with the year 1848 and the demise of the estate society also significantly affected the social position of businessmen. Their position before this date was not legally defined and prestige did not depend on their property, but on their place in the traditional ranking of the social hierarchy associated with the possession of burgher rights or the noble title. Their prestige began to grow after this date, mainly due to the ever closer cooperation with the state and growing political influence. In the new era, the noble title was not a prerequisite for belonging to the elite, but for many people it was still a symbol of prestige and many businessmen sought it. They saw in it a demonstration of their achievements and a fulcrum for the historical memory of their entire family.

The article presents a thorough analysis of the dynamic political situation on Slovene ground in 1920, which was created by protest marches connected to the question of Slovene borders, women's right to vote, the establishment of the communist Workers' Socialist Party of Slovenia and the assembly of the catholic Slovene People's Party (SLS) in Ljubljana. The reality of the communist movement was shown by the railway and general strike in the second half of April 1920, which culminated on April 24, with tragic blood spill on Zaloška cesta in Ljubljana. Politically, the communists were the third strongest actor in the state and for the purpose of their elimination, the Belgrade government passed the so-called Obznana law on December 29, 1920, and forbid their activities. The changing political situation could also be seen at the already limited management of Slovenia. There were several changes of the Land Government for Slovenia, which were connected to the changes of the central government in Belgrade. The year 1920 was a turning point in many ways. It predicted troubled political years ahead and the prediction was right.

One of the most important Slovenian politicians of the 20th century, Dr. Anton Korošec (1872–1940), started his political career in Styria, which was the foundation for his later ascend in the Austrian, Slovenian and Yugoslav territory. During the Austrian era, as he was a Catholic politician, his main adversaries in his local Lower Styrian surroundings were liberals, which coincided well with the then prevailing political division. They named him as the "general" of the Catholic political party, the Slovenian Peasant Union in Styria, which won the state (1907, 1911) and parliamentary (1909) elections and had absolute dominance in Styria.

The author discusses the role of Anton Korošec in the downfall of the Milan Stojadinović government in February 1939, one of the more exciting moments of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. He confronts some theoretical issues when explaining the background of the political conspiracy, which he conceives as the contrast between public and politically legitimized action. First, the meaning of structure and event. Can the government's downfall be understood as an event that happened instantaneously and was not inevitable, or can it be seen as necessary, even long-planned? Furthermore, the author wonders whether it is possible to describe the events only utilizing rational analysis and causal sequence or something missing in the process. The discussion structure is based on a chronologically challenging concept: the definition is followed by a temporal, political, and spatial contextualization, then by a cause-and-effect analysis, and finally by a conclusion.

The article discusses plebiscites held in years after the First World War, specifically in 1920 and 1921. They were conducted for the purpose of redrawing borders in areas where this was difficult due to their multinational structure, as well as economic, geographical, and historical factors. Thus, the great powers, who were on a winning side in the First World War, in some cases decided for an instrument of popular vote, which was not a novelty in history, but was then used for the first time to a greater extend. In the article, the authors present the similarities and differences between the discussed plebiscites.

The article discusses some key political problems in Slovene and Yugoslav history through the relationship between Anton Korošec, a Catholic priest and one of the most prominent politicians of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes/Yugoslavia, and Ermenegildo Pellegrinetti, the apostolic nuncio in the first Yugoslavia. The analysis of memoirs and archival sources presents contextualised personal insights into the politicization of the Catholic Church and the activities of Catholic parties, including the issue of nationalisms, the anti-fascist action of Slovenes and Croats in Italy and the failed attempt to adopt a Concordat between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Holy See.

The discussion deals with economic developments in 1919, the first year of the interwar period and the first Yugoslav year. In the case of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which is the subject of the analysis, the 1919 year was a complex process due to dynamics of transition to and establishment of new state. At the same time, the Habsburg monarchy was still very much alive in its concepts of regulating everyday private, social and economic life. The author analyzes these processes on the example of the eight-hour working day, agrarian reform, nostrification, war loans, currency reform and entrepreneurial practices in 1919.
