Geography Now! Rep. of North Macedonia

[@GeographyNow]

Hey guys so UPDATE! As of Jan 25 2019 the Greek Parliament voted 153-146 (1 abstained) in favor of accepting the new name of "North Macedonia" for this country. Many Greek citizens are opposed to this move but for what's it's worth this means diplomatic actions can move forward after nearly 3 decades of dispute. Let's see what happens.

I don't think macedonian gods were greek ones, because... Many of so called greek gods were in fact originaly thracian, phrygian or pelasgian gods. And the greek laguage and script was used all around the mediterranean in some periods of antiquity but it alone doesn't mean that those peoples were speaking exclusively in greek as their mother tongue. In different texts of the pre-Alexander era Macedonians were never included in what was considered as greek tribes, and even some of the biographs of Alexander write that when he was speaking to his macedonian warriors he was using macedonian but not greek.

@Real history is unpleasant! you are clearly unhistorical. So let me tell you something there smartass. Alexander recognised himself as a Greek. Go to vergina in Greece, go see that stone tablet. You know what is written there? In ancient Greek saying how proud he was being a Greek (ευγνωμονώ τοις θεοις ότι εγεννηθην ελλην) also the grave of Phillip I I is situated there. I mean what is wrong with you people! Greece has enormous history and a lot of people are jealous of it. Macedonia was a Kingdom, an enormous empire and it was treated as a lesser state but that doesn't make it less Greek. It's like athena and sparta, Macedonia - Athena - Sparta are 3 glorious Greek kingdoms. About the thing you said: how do you expect a Greek map if there was literally under the ottoman empire? Go search it by your own but this doesn't make it less Greek. Also just because Tito told you that you are some kind of decentants of Alexander doesn't mean it's true. No one mentioned anything until tito and all of a sudden you are Macedonians? How is that possible? A history of a nation is known as a fact since forever, but no one talk about this.

One of my best friends is of Macedonian origin.The thing is,when I talk about North Macedonia,I just call it Macedonia!It is not usual for me to say North Macedonia.I may sound ignorant,but for the first time a Greek friend alerted me to the correct use of country names.I told him that my childhood friend was from "Macedonia" and he immediately corrected me by saying:"You mean North Macedonia?".I was completely confused.I'm not used to hearing "North Macedonia".For me,it will always be only Macedonia.I think Macedonians are very nice,they have beautiful folk dances and I appreciate them.

It would be more appropriate if this new nation called itself Western Bulgaria but unfortunately the people there love ancient Greek history especially Alexander the Great who was a ancient Greek Commander never a slav.

As of 2010, it is much easier for Macedonians to get Bulgarian citizenship because the Bulgarian authorities no longer ask them to provide a document of Bulgarian origin - which is usually some sort of a church or municipal certificate from the time of their grandparents; instead, for the purposes of granting citizenship, the Bulgarian state has switched to assuming that all Macedonians are of Bulgarian origin.

What was the Greeks' case? Simply, it was that the former Yugoslav republic of Makedonija was nothing but an invention of Tito's as a bridgehead for the penetration and annexation of Greece's northern province, which is the real Macedonia with its capital at Salonika. Tito's Makedonija did not ever exist as a name on any map 50 years ago. But after 1945 Tito began openly talking of a Greater Macedonia that would include not only his small, artificial province but also the major Greek province that he cal led Aegean Macedonia. He pursued this policy not only by state-controlled propaganda but also by semi-clandestine warfare. The Greeks' objection to the misuse of the name of Macedonia is therefore well founded.

The geographic region of Macedonia is a region that includes north Macedonia, the Greek province of Macedonia and parts of south‐west Bulgaria. Ancient Macedonia was an ancient Greek kingdom which produced leaders like Alexander the great. . Modern SLAVIC Macedonians (Serbo Bulgars ) are Slavs, a people that only came to the Balkan in the 6th and 7th centuries. Russians, Ukranians, Poles, Czechs, Croats, Serbs, Bulgarians, Slovaks, Belarussians, etc all belong to this people.

The country and the people do not have to be descendants of the ancient Macedonians in order to be Macedonians. There does not have to be a continuum to ancient times, and most of the modern nations do not have one. Macedonia, or officially Republic of north Macedonia, is a Slavic country that is correct. Ethnic Macedonian population is a Slavic population. Macedonian language is a south slavic language, based on the Slavic Alphabet made in the region of Macedonia, by the Salonika born brothers, about 1100 years ago.
