History of Macedonia
The time before the 1912th The name Macedonian origin (being written deliberately respectively. Macedonia and FYROM to differentiate between ancient kingdom and modern state). Hell Listener (Greek) and Greek (Latin: Graecus) are synonyms. Ancient Macedonia (gr.????????? from gr ????????, tall man) was a kingdom in northern Greece, present, and was almost exactly localized in the present Greek province of Macedonia. Counted by historians as one of the Greek city-polis. The later Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Macedonia was, with varying boundary in the current Greece, the current FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia) and the present Bulgaria. There is, according to historians talk about a tribe that spoke a Greek dialect, and Herodotus describes Macedonians language as a Greek dialect (Aeolian Greek), and the Macedonians as a Doric tribe left in the north after a stroke. Alexander III (Alexander the Great, see detailed article) saw itself as sole hell (Greek), but of particular aristocracy in Athens was regarded Macedonians as barbarians, though they spoke a Greek dialect. Alexander annexed a large area that stretched over the current Greece, Persia and India and Afghanistan and widespread in its new rich Hellenistic culture. Hellenistic means in many contexts “Attic” (ie the Athenian culture and dialect) and he also conducted to Macedonia from talking Aeolian Greek (who did not have a systematized written grammar) came to speak the “finer” Attic (ie Athenian) Greek, which was “state of the art” among educated people at that time. It is important to point out that FYROM majority of the population speaks a Slavic language and that the slaves arrived in the area late in the sixth century after Christ, which many centuries after the M kingdom existed under Philip 2nd of Macedon (Alexander’s father) and Alexander. Therein lies the dispute between FYROM and Greece on the “right” to name M. Greeks believe FYROM can use the name M. This is partly because GR is already a province of the same name, partly because they claim to antiquity M were a part of the Hellenistic culture, and not the Slavic, which was not in the area even at the time. FYROM claims to their land located in part of ancient M, and that they are descendants of ancient Macedonians. The last is historically incorrect since ancient M were a Hellenic tribe and not a slavish. The dispute flared up in earnest as FYROM immediately after its independence from the Yugoslav Federation printed school books which one could read that M extends down to the Aegean (eg Greece) and printed banknotes which depicted the White Tower of Thessaloniki (Greece). This was regarded by Greece as an expansionist threat to Greece. A number of trained historians and politicians in FYROM recognizes that they are descendants of ancient Macedonians. Greece is making only objection against the name of Macedonia as the name of the state, and has no territorial or other claims.
Even before the Balkan wars of Macedonia has been historically associated with the area. Shortly before 1912/1913 was the current territory of the Ottoman Empire. In the first Balkan War, Serbia and Bulgaria decided that the current territory should have the status of autonomous region, where the Ottoman Empire was defeated. After the war, Serbia had no access to the Adriatic, and therefore respected Serbia did the agreement with Bulgaria, which in turn was unhappy with the division and thus began the second Balkan War. As Serbia, Greece, Romania and Turkey defeated Bulgaria in the second Balkan War, was Vardardalen a part of Serbia (from 1913 to 1915). Greek Macedonia came under Greece and Macedonia came under Pirinske Bulgaria. Bulgarians considered the Macedonians as Bulgarians, Serbs and regarded them as sydserbere. The Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (Vnatrešna Makedonska Revolucionarna organiz?cijas) (VMRO) was formed year 1893 with the goal of Macedonia either united with Bulgaria or became independent.
In the first World War (1914-1918) was the country as part of the Kingdom of Serbia on the Entente side, though Macedonians supported Bulgaria. The country was occupied by Bulgaria, which began with reprisals against the population.
After the war the country was a part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1918-1941), who began the serbificere population. The members of VMRO committed together with Ustasha an attack against the Yugoslav King Alexander the first Karadjordjevic in Marseille in 1934.
In the second World War II the country was occupied by Bulgaria, which was Hitler’s ally. The western part of Vardardalen were added to Albania during the formation of Greater Albania. From 1945-1991 the country was a federal unit in Tito’s Yugoslavia.
On 8 September 1991 was held a referendum on a sovereign, autonomous and independent Macedonia and the Macedonian parliament adopted on 17 November 1991 the new Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia. In 2001 it came in the western part of the country, clashes between the Macedonian police and military forces and Albanians who wanted to use the situation in Kosovo and Metohija to form Greater Albania. In 2004, lost the Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski life in a plane crash in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Branko Crvenkovski was elected new president.
The fifth June 2006 elections were held and late night (early hours) recognized the Macedonian Prime Minister Vlado Bu?kovski election defeat to opposition leader Nikola Gruevski and his center-right party that had won 55 of 120 seats in parliament, thereby alienating Bu?kovski from power.
