Abstract	The formation of states after the First World War in 1918 was justified by the idea of the distinct national identities of the created states. In the case of Czechoslovakia, being a multi-ethnic state, it was crucial to sustain the unity of the newly formed Czechoslovak statehood. Before - and naturally after - the foundation of the Czechoslovak Republic, the official ideology of Czechoslovakism took root in an attempt to proclaim national unity and point out that there was a Czechoslovak nation and Czechoslovak language, although no such language existed. The paper focuses on the Slovak part of the republic and explores the process of the building and strengthening of national identity in the context of the creation and use of history course books during the Czechoslovak Republic. The article surveys the legislation and offers detailed characterization of course book publication. As a case study, 'Slovak' history course books for secondary schools written by Czech historian Josef Pekar are analysed.
