Ethnic Map of the Macedonians of the Aegean, 1946!

[TriKilaBanani]

Nice, thank you TriKilaBanani, are they from the same source?

Yes, I found it in a wikipedia discussion. The discussion was about the fake picture...



...and originals above from the newspaper Borba.

[Soldier of Macedon]

It is probably one place above all that received many colonists from Greece back in the ancient era, Thucydides talks about the people of the area speaking both Greek and their native tongues.

[Spartan]

This is all true
The northmen fought for Troy according to Homer.
I know the Illiad well, and you are spot on.

Chalkidiki was a major 'hotspot' during the Pelloponesian wars between Athens an Sparta though, with the Athenians eventually winning the territory...

[Soldier of Macedon]

I know this doesnt count for anything, but would just like to mention, that my Papou always told me that when he would tell me about the different parts of Greece...

Even in Homer's 'Iliad' there is nobody that fought on the Greek side that came north of Thessaly, not that I can recall anyway. In fact, the Paeonian people that inhabited the Axios (Vardar) river, which would eventually become Macedonia, fought for the Trojans, as did the Thracians.

[Soldier of Macedon]

I do. And I accept the Greek minority that inhabited the region also.

Likewise. Some parts are ethnographically Greek or Vlach or Turk, but it is geographically Macedonian and the Halkidik peninsula along with other parts in the south naturally belong together with the Macedonian hinterland further north.

One question guys-
Do you cosider the 3 fingered penisula (Chalkidiki I think) as part of Agean Macedonia?

I do. And I accept the Greek minority that inhabited the region also.

[Daskalot]

I think we know the answer to that. The one's in the east ran, or were shipped off to Bulgaria, while those in the west have been assimilated to within an inch of their former selves.

correct observation, but our Greek fiends will always find some clever "workaround" to get it to fit into their agenda.

[El Bre]

Good question

[Daskalot]

it certainly does El Bre, the Greeks must be asked; "what happened to those people?"

[El Bre]

Wow, that map certainly does tell a story.

[Daskalot]

Was this map used by the Partizans as a basis for identifying territories that should be liberated from Greek-occupation?

I do not have information regarding that SoM, but it is very likely if you go by the maps. Maybe TriKilaBanani has more information regarding this?

[Daskalot]

I know this doesnt count for anything, but would just like to mention, that my Papou always told me that when he would tell me about the different parts of Greece...

It is an historical border, from ancient times until the end of the Ottoman empire.

One question guys-
Do you cosider the 3 fingered penisula (Chalkidiki I think) as part of Agean Macedonia?

Yes, we do consider Chalkidiki as a part of Aegean Macedonia.

[Daskalot]

Herer a better quality of the pictures...
