There was no "Slovenia" or "Croatia" at the time. Both lands were part of Habsburg (Austrian) Empire until 1878. From 1878 till 1918 Austria merged with Hungary to form Austria-Hungary. After WWI Austria-Hungary fell apart. Slovenia and Croatia enjoyed a really short independence, and then, together with Serbia formed SHS State. That one was quickly replaced by SHS Kingdom, and that one was later renamed to Kingdom of Jugoslavija. The time of Austria-Hungary was also the time when most people went to seek a better life in United States. Those immigrants were correct when stating they were from Austria.

Where is Slovakia and Slovenia?
Slovenia is a country in central Europe with a short coast (46km) on the Adriatic Sea. It is bordered by Austria to the north, Croatia in the south, Italy to the west and it shares a short border with Hungary to the northeast. In ancient times Illyrian and Celtic peoples inhabited the area, which was ruled by Rome after the first century BC. and settled by Slavs in the sixth century AD. Slovenia came under Austrian control after 1335 and joined the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) in 1918. During World War II Slovenia was divided among Germany, Italy, and Hungary, but returned to Yugoslavia after the war. Slovenia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in June 1991. Ljubljana is the capital and largest city. Population: 2,010,000.
What kind of relationship do Slovenia and Croatia have?
Slovenia and Croatia are neighbors, however they have a bad political relation due to some border issues. The Slovenian and Croatian people also generally don't seem to like each other, perhaps because there is some kind of competition between them. As right now the Slovenian Macro and Microeconomic appears to be way ahead as the Croatian one.The two countries speak different languages and, due to its location along the Alps and the absence of a significant coastline, Slovenia shares a culture with its Austrian neighbors that is very different from the Croatian. Croatian culture varies greatly from region to region, based on geography and proximity to other, neighboring countries - Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro, Italy and Slovenia. Croatia also has a very long coastline and long time connections to the wider Medditerranean. As a result, Croatia is heavily influenced by Latin or Medditerranean culture. Croatia has a better economic base, but is not Slovenia's economic equal yet because the country endured a war for half a decade and experiences more corruption and political divisiveness. So, Slovenes love Croatian food and the Croatian coastline, but are upset that Croatian littoral sea rights prevent Slovenia from accessing international waters and that Croats harrass Slovene vaction home owners in Croatia. Croats are envious of Slovenian relative affluence and its display by Slovenes when visiting. While living in a common federal state, Slovenes often voted counter to Croatia's interest in exchange for return policy favors by other states in the federation and there is a perception that the same happens in the EU context. However, both equally distrust and dislike the Italians and Austrians for their discrimination against Croat and Slovene minorities in those countries. Croatia is a very important market for Slovenia and Slovenia is an important source of investment capital for Croatia. No passport is required by the two countries' citizens to travel across their mutual border. They are both glad not to be Serbian. There are many mixed marriages in the border regions between the two countries. Marshal Tito, the most significant figure in the region's 20th century politics was half Slovene, half Croat.
