United Slovenia

[1] The programme demanded (a) unification of all the Slovene-inhabited areas into one single kingdom under the rule of the Austrian Empire, (b) equal rights of Slovene in public, and (c) strongly opposed the planned integration of the Habsburg monarchy with the German Confederation.

The programme failed to meet its main objectives, but it remained the common political program of all currents within the Slovene national movement until World War I.

They were, however, divided between different political subdivisions, namely the provinces of Carniola, Styria, Carinthia, Gorizia and Gradisca, Istria, Trieste, Lombardy and Venetia (the Venetian Slovenia) and the Kingdom of Hungary (Prekmurje).

Janez Bleiweis presented these demands to the Austrian Emperor's younger brother Archduke John, who had been living among the Slovenes in Maribor for 15 years.

The three key points of the programme (the creation of Slovenia as a distinct entity, recognition of Slovene and opposition to joining the German Confederation) were signed as a petition.

Peter Kosler 's Map of the Slovene Land and Provinces , designed during the Spring of Nations in 1848, became the symbol of United Slovenia.
During the Second World War, the Chetnik leader Stevan Moljević idealized a plan in which Serbia and Slovenia would substantially enlarge their territories and fulfill their territorial claims after liberation from Axis forces.
