'''Styria''' (slovenian '''Štajerska''', austrian '''Steiermark''') is a historical region of [[Slovenia]]. It was formed when [[Great Carantania]] fell apart. In 1180 it became a duchy in the [[Habsburg empire]]. It was divided into ''Upper'', ''Central'' and ''Lower Styria'' in the middle ages. In 1918, when [[Austria-Hungary]] fell apart, it was divided between [[Austria]] and [[Yugoslavia]] so that Austria got Upper and Central Styria and Yugoslavia got Lower Styria. Today, Styria is the name of both an Austrian and a Slovenian region.
