Alexander Dubcek was almost certainly the most famous Slovak. He was Czech Prime Minister during the Prague Spring in 1968.
Gustav Husak was Czech leader at the time of the fall of Communism.
Jozef Gabcik was one of the two-man hit squad that assassinated Reinhard Heydrich in 1942. This was almost certainly the most important assassination of World War Two.
Jozef Tiso was leader of the pro-Nazi puppet regime in Slovakia. He was hanged after the Second World War.
The most Slovaks or people with slovak herritage in the US is probably in Pittsburgh or elsewhere in Pennsylvania.....
Nice girls, good food, beer, hockey players and growing economy with lower wages (because of ex-communist regime) !

Lots of Slovaks migrate to the US in 1900-1920. They immigrate because Slovak was a part of Austrian-Hungarian Empire where was economic crisis.
Slovaks never left their home country. If you are referring to the former republic of Czechoslovakia, Czechs and Slovaks decided to separate in 1993. This decision was political, at that time majority of Czechs and Slovaks were not in favor of the separation. Nevertheless, both countries have proven the ability to succeed both together and separately. Czechoslovakia was a multinational state, with two major nations Slovak and Czech. Unlike nations of other European multinational states such as Belgium or UK, Czechs and Slovaks decided to peacefully separate and maintain high-standard relationships.

They both have a "little state" complex. Slovaks are quiet (and well.. not many people know about them) because of it, but Czechs are pretty much loud and make fun of everyone who live in country that is bigger than Czech Republic. For example - USA, Russia, China, Japan... But both Slovaks and Czechs love alcohol. Slovaks prefer brandy, Czechs beer (and Czech beer is actually better than Germany) ;). And remember this - most of the Slovaks hateCzechs.
