Knowledgia ,,macedonians'' are created like a nation in Yugoslavia. You dont say that BEFORE Yugoslavia ,,macedonians'' ARE BULGARIANS by ALL historical documents. In Bulgaria we have - myself too, - 2 or 3 MILLION ,,macedonians'' , descendants from refugees from the SAME Macedonia. We are 3 million. In brainwashed FYROM are 1.1 million ,,macedonians'', 100 000 of them allready with Bulgarian citizenship based of BULGARIAN ORIGIN. Okay, let this people, brainwashed from 1944 call themselves ,,macedonians''. But BEFORE 1944 they have NO RIGHT to call people who call themselves Bulgarians with their communist nation name.

[@martinjesko3256]

@Kabo Torko czechs were nationality a long time before then. They fight for more independence in austro-hungarian empire even before WWI. they also tried to change the name of the empire to the austro-czech-hungarian empire, which they obviously failed. Czechs had their state mostly because of T.G. Masaryk and Czechoslovak legions. Czechoslovak legions were fighting in WWI on the side of allies even before Czechoslovakia officialy existed. Try to to find something about Czechoslovak legions. Czechoslovakia was made on historical border of Kingdom of Bohemia. Austro-hungarian empire was only a small part of Czech history :-) our history and laguange goes far more deeper to the times where there were even no habsburg dynasty. So czechoslovakia was a national state, we just had problems with germans, but german wasnt even one of the official languages in Czechoslovakia. The German problem was solved after WWI of Beneš decrees. Czechs and Slovaks are more or lees same nation. In Czech republic we now have a prime minister from Slovakia ( Andrej Babiš), which cant fluently speak czech language and uses a mix of czech/slovak language - almost 30 years after splitting the countries :D

[@levijatan12]

@Kabo Torko 👍

[@martinjesko3256]

@Kabo Torko Czechs (people of Bohemia) and Slovaks and Moravians and small number of Silesians are quite the same nation called Czechoslovaks/Czechs. That was the idea of Czechoslovakia. They were (and are) bound together by same language (with different dialects) and same history and also by blood they bled together in Czechoslovaks legions.. 3 milions of Germans - T.G. Masaryk - the first president of Czechoslovakia told them, that they will become Czechoslovaks or they need to leave. And many of them did so, many of german aristocracy became Czecholovaks too (and after 1938 they became germans back) German language wasnt even official laguage of the state (but most of Czechoslovaks knew the language as relict of AH empire), so if you wanted to live in Czechoslovakia, u had to know the language and become a part of nation. Germans were mostly in border regions- sudetenland (many lived there for centuries, because Kingdom of Bohemia was a part of a Holy Roman Empire). Half milions of hungarians were in south slovakia - also a borderland. And as you know from history - there war between Czechoslovakia and Hungary about Slovakia. The reason is that for Hungarians is Slovakia just Upper Hungaria. Modern Hungary is historical Lower Hungaria. So Hungarians wanted to make the big Hungary state. Same think with Poland. Poland and Czechoslovakia was in war about Silesia. Most of Silesia is in Poland, but not all. In Poland you had Silesians, you have Prussians and others which they all together are Poles. In that days they also had a lot of germans because of Prusssia. So if Czechoslovakia wasnt a national state, then Poland was not one too (and Germany also). You need to learn a lot about history of Czechoslovakia and Europe. Its not that simple.

[@bratletobatka]

Not really. Actually Yugoslavia and USSR started the unification (more assimilation) through the creation of the macedonian language and ethnicity - it was going to be the "link" between bulgarians and the western balkan slavs because they speak a variation of the "shopski" dialect in Bulgaria which the serbs can partially understand if you speak slow. They started to macedonize the population in nowadays North Macedonia and in Southwestern region - Pirin and Rila. BUT Tito and Stalin disagreed on certain political views and things and the joining of Bulgaria was stopped also the macedonization only in Bulgaria, sadly can't say the same for the bulgarians in Yugoslavia. In modern time you can see the result of that act - the country North Macedonia and it's people.

Bulgars adopted Slavic language and culture. Originaly, they are of Turkish origin: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgars

[@buklborisov2460]

@@feiticeirafatale561 So I still have to talk with people like you. The Bulgars are most definitely not Turkish in origin, not only because they’re first mentioned in Europe (mid-4th century) a thousand years before the Turks expanded in Europe (mid-14th century), but even a couple centuries before the first people called Turks (i.e. the Ashina clan) appeared in Central Asia itself. The proper term is not Turkish, but Turkic, which is first and foremost a linguistic term (i.e. speakers of a language from the Turkic linguistic family, just like Indo-European is also famously not an ethnicity, but a linguistic group). So, if the question is: Are the Bulgarians truly Turkic in origin (which would make sense mostly if changed to “Did the ancient Bulgars speak a Turkic (particularly a Hunnic) language?”), then the answer is - maybe. The so-called Turkic theory for the origin of the Bulgars (note: Bulgars and Bulgarians is not exactly the same thing, as basically “Bulgars+Slavs+Thracians=Bulgarians”) has been dominant for a long time and it seems quite likely that at least a part of the Bulgar tribes spoke some form of Turkic (the so-called R-Turkic, probably related to Hunnic). But according to many modern Bulgarian researchers, most of the tribes in the Bulgar tribal union would have been Sarmatian in origin and thus probably spoke an Iranic language (though the presence of Slavic, Gothic and Ugro-Finnic speakers is also certainly possible). All in all, the Eurasian (esp. the Pontic) steppes during the Great Migration of Peoples were a quite dynamic area. This is said by a historian btw, not me.

Reading Slavic names in English is always fun :) The royal Yugoslavian house of Serbia (later Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and Kingdom of Yugoslavia) was written as "Karađorđević" in Serbian and Croat languages given in Latin script. But it was read and pronounced as Karadzhordzhevich (Car-rah-George-ev-each). Slavic name Ivan is not read as "Ayvan" but as "Eevan" or "Eve-Anne". So, the name is to be read as "Eve-Anne Shoe-bash-each". And, of course, Cro-ats are not Kraut :D Bulgarian monarchy was not formally thrown away in 1944 but only in 1946, after the war. So, there was an awkward transitory period of a little bit more than a year of an absurd Communist Kingdom :) Something similar happened in Romania where monarchy was abolished in 1947. Actually, the first ideas of a "Yugoslavia" or South Slavic confederacy started somewhere between 1862-1867 as a fantastic plan by a group of Bulgarian nationalists to use Serbia as the liberator of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire and put Serbian Prince Michael (Mikhaylo) Obrenovich on the throne of a new Bulgarian state. But by the real forming of modern Bulgaria (in 1878) Prince Michael was already dead and the two Balkan countries fought against each other in 1885, 1913, 1915-1918 and 1941-44, so there was no actual possibility for Bulgaria joining the real Yugoslavia at any point. From a Bulgarian point of view, Yugoslavia was just a Serbian empire.

Bulgaria would have never considered being a part of such an alliance in the first place, neither there is any historical deviance that it did (to my knowledge). The reason is not the communist relations with Russia, but more deeper issues between the countries on the Balkans. Some of those issues can be traced back to the medieval ages and unfortunately has been amplified during 20th century and are still on the table even nowadays. Nevertheless a political alliance between the Balkan countries is an idea that simply needs to happen, but the time for that is still to come.

Depends on who's "we" - Dimitrov and his gang were quite prepared to get in bed with Tito, under Stalin's approving eye. What this video forgot to mention was the Bled agreement of 1947, between Dimitrov and Tito, which was the first step towards the merger of the two countries. In that regard, Dimitrov began preparing the Blagoevgrad region to be transferred to the federal republic of Macedonia and also began the well-known forceful (but fortunately short-lived) Macedonization campaign here. There are also suggestions that the plan also included Bulgaria being broken to artificial Shoppish, Thracian and Dobrudzhan republics. If Tito and Stalin had kept their relations better, our communists would have been quite proud to stab us in the back, on behalf of Belgrade and Moscow, in the name of internationalism.

It was acknowledged and accepted by some Serbian diplomats, but it was not by the king. Serbia was afraid of Macedonia ending as part of the Bulgarian state of the federation. This was the first Macedonian question that divided us from a union. Evlogy and Hristo Georgiev were part of that bulgarian committee for creating a Serbian-Bulgarian kingdom.

[@aleksandarcvetkovic5436]

I think it's a good reason. That time Serbian leaders thought in union Bulgarians would easier influence Macedonia, and after union end, Macedonia would be part of Bulgaria, or at least few steps closer to that status. Also, there were Teheran '43 and Yalta '45 where US, GB and USSR negotiated influence zones.Yugoslavia was 50/50, Bulgaria was 100% USSR zone.Doubt they would allow some unions on their zones.

@@aleksandarcvetkovic5436 Yup, the only chance for a federation or common kingdom with Serbia and Bulgaria was around the uprisings between 17-19 centuries. There were even mixed uprisings and some mixed literacy, like Zherafovic who writes about his Bulgarian fatherland and beloved Serbian country in the same book :D After that it was not people or just circumstances, it was politics and geopolitics that came into play and their interest was to divide us into even smaller pieces.

Short answer: Bulgaria was already a major power in the region and joining a union that is somewhat Serbian superior will mean degrading. Also having a country that extends from Trieste to Istanbul will mean a European power, which to the west and east is a big no. Now, imagine North Macedonia becomes part of Bulgaria. Macedonian Politicians wouldn't want to be assimilated in Bulgarian politics. It's all a big propaganda and Mafia..

"They do not know their history or how they repressed the old Macedonians and Thracians from White Sea Thrace.

Well it is not that easy to say first of all people that live in skopje and north and west are Serbs according to ottoman records and linguistics, while in the east they are probably bulgars as the most of vmro members came from those parts of macedonia. There were armed bands of pro serbian and pro bulgarians fighting prior to liberation. Now that said that it was 100 years ago, and today macedonians have their country for almost 30 years, and they did create some sort of special identity for themselfs, and they did have some notions of separate identity even before ww2.even today Serbia is much more sympatized than Bulgaria, maybe only in the east of macedonia they like bulgars more. Only thing that is for certain is that they are not ancient macedo-greeks because they are slavs same as serbs and bulgars. Both serbia and bulgaria ruled the teritory during medieval times serbia for longer and more recent than bulgaria.The language is really something between serbian and bulgarian for me closer to serbian but it is my opinion since i am a fluent speaker of both, yet again i have notised that in east of macedonia it is more bulgarised. Today macedonia is torn in so many ways first of all greeks dont recognize the name , bulgars don't recognize the language and serbs don't recognize the macedonian orthodox church. On top of everything albanian minority grew a lot in last 30 years and they want more independance. Long story short that teritorry was always between greeks , serbs and bulgars and therefore all of them conduct certain influence on the teritory and it shall be interesting to see how will macedonia evolve in future

While all of this makes sense, probably the most important reason is national identity. While Bulgaria is a slavic nation, the originators of the modern slavic language and cyrilic alphabet in fact, the bulgarian ethnicity is not only slavic. Bulgaria was created in 681 when step tribes from beyond the Danube crossed it. Over the next hundreds of years the mingled with the slavic tribes and greek speaking natives of the balkans to create this new Bulgarian ethnicity which was different than the more slavic centered serb croat and slovene tribes in the west balkans. Over the next thousand years bulgarians established themselvs as slavic nation of its own with a separate identity from the ones west of it.

Pretty brazen. While Bulgaria gave language, culture, religion, as the center and creator of the Orthodox Church and Cyrillic alphabet, there were no such stupid questions and so many tribes of unclear origin, when even the French rulers swore by a Bulgarian church book when assuming power, due to a lack of cultural and historical significance. They called themselves Bulgarians with pride. Today, Russia proudly recognizes its faith and alphabet. Yugoslavia can become part of Bulgaria, but the opposite is ridiculous and untenable. Have some respect!
