    Northern greece in 1835 would have been a different location to that of 1913
    You want Macedonia? Come and take it from my blood!

    A prosperous, independent and free Macedonia for Macedonians will be the ultimate revenge to our enemies.

        True.

        Most of the book is devoted to Epirus and Thessaly, but there are few pages there for ''Macedonia''.
