Do people know how fickly the borders were determined.in 1913 when it was just a land grab of 51% of aegean macedonia & greece was shown not to be happy with that.Bulgaria wanted the whole of macedonia.If bulgaria came an hor earlier they would've got aegean macedonia.So seeing the way macedonia was divided up .ghow can one country belong to 4 other countries??
Unless it's a land grab.

The "true" borders of states change according to their interests and power, so don't be surprised by such a fact and it shouldn't even be treated in such a context. That kind of a context could be used only if we had a source about what the people of the Greek Kingdom considered as the true borders of their state. Now that would be very interesting.

It is used in this context because it not only destroys a myth that "Macedonia was Greek for 4,000 years" () but it also provides the reader a view they may not have known existed amongst the people that ultimately were the enlightenment of your nations history.

Voltron your just avoiding the questions & you are not admitting to anything.

I guess this is payback for me making SOM laugh in his morning hours. Now Im laughing with this one, and the world goes round and round. You guys find a bunch of philosophers in the last century debating Hellenism and you think you got something ? I can find similar references as well that regard you.

I think you purposely avoid what they are saying. But it's ok. It's nice to dream a lil dream.

[TrueMacedonian]

are multiple hellenisms similar to multiple orgasms and dont tell me the greeks invented that too.

Osiris I miss your posts man. Thanks for stopping by oh god of all things.

We find those sources but we still call you Greek. Can you say the same visa versa??

Correct, I took that out of context!

THere you go busting again for the macedonian cause.That really explains what happened in the past.The sad fact the greeks don't know or understand their own history.If they did they would be shocked.
