Tenure
Tenure is a category of academic appointment existing in some countries. A tenured post is an indefinite academic appointment that can be terminated only for cause or under extraordinary circumstances, such as financial exigency or program discontinuation.

Interwar Period
In the history of the 20th century, the interwar period lasted from 11 November 1918 to 1 September 1939 (20 years, 9 months, 21 days), the end of the First World War to the beginning of the Second World War. The interwar period was relatively short, yet featured many significant social, political, and economic changes throughout the world. Petroleum-based energy production and associated mechanisation led to the prosperous Roaring Twenties, a time of both social mobility and economic mobility for the middle class. Automobiles, electric lighting, radio, and more became common among populations in the developed world. The indulgences of the era subsequently were followed by the Great Depression, an unprecedented worldwide economic downturn that severely damaged many of the world's largest economies. Politically, the era coincided with the rise of communism, starting in Russia with the October Revolution and Russian Civil War, at the end of World War I, and ended with the ri ...

Freedom Party (Slovakia)
The Freedom Party (''Strana slobody'') originally Christian-Republican Party (''Kresťansko-republikánska strana'') was a political party in Slovakia. It was founded by some members of the Democratic Party in March 1946 as a party mainly for Catholics.

Democratic Party (Slovakia, 1944)
The Democratic Party ( sk, Demokratická strana) was a conservative political party in Slovakia, existing during the final phase of World War II and the Third Czechoslovak Republic, from 1944 to 1948. History It arose during the 1944 Slovak National Uprising as a party for all non-communist participants (i.e. the counterpart of the Communist Party of Slovakia). It was led by Ján Ursíny (1896–1972), Vavro Šrobár (1867–1950) and Jozef Lettrich (1905–1969). All three had been members of the agrarian Republican Party of Farmers and Peasants before World War II.

However, the party was disempowered in 1947–48 by the Communists, who had a majority in the central government in Prague (because unlike in Slovakia, the Communists had won the 1946 elections in the Czech lands).

Slovak National Party (historical)
The Slovak National Party (SNS, Slovak: ''Slovenská národná strana'') was a Slovak conservative and nationalist political party in the Kingdom of Hungary and then in Czechoslovakia from 1871 to 1938. The post-Velvet Revolution party with the same name sees the historical one as its ideological predecessor. SNS in Austria-Hungary The Slovak National Party arose on 6 June 1871, as the first political party of Slovaks in history. It was the result of the decision of an already existing nationally oriented group (called the Old Slovak School) that wanted to take part in the elections to the Hungarian Diet (parliament). Their political program was based on the '' Memorandum of the Slovak nation'', a political document from 1861 requiring the establishment of the so-called "Slovak surrounding" (Slovenské okolie), an intended form of Slovak autonomy. However, their first election was not successful – they received no mandates in the parliament. In the year of another parliam ...
