With the conquest of the Balkans by the Ottomans in the late 14th century, the name of Macedonia disappeared as a geographical designation for several centuries. The name was revived just during the early 19th century, after the foundation of the modern Greek state with its Western Europe-derived obsession with Ancient Greece.[137][138] As result of the rise of nationalism in the Ottoman Empire, massive Greek religious and school propaganda occurred, and a process of Hellenization was implemented among Slavic-speaking population of the area.[139][140] In this way, the name Macedonians was applied to the local Slavs, aiming to stimulate the development of close ties between them and the Greeks, linking both sides to the ancient Macedonians, as a counteract against the growing Bulgarian cultural influence into the region.
>be Greek >force Slavs to LARP as Greeks >one hundred years later demand the Slavs you forced to LARP as Greeks stop LARPing as Greeks as a condition to allow them into the union that you're too poor to participate in
depending on the state, they can be Johnny or Bubba
Blake Reyes
Not him (I'm the OP), but "Columbia" was used as a nickname for America for awhile. I think the confusion with "Colombia" caused it to fall into disuse.
Jace Scott
Nah, it's just funny, because toponyms are quite common.
>>Greece had vetoed Macedonia's bids to join Nato and the European Union, fearing claims on its northern region of the same name. What time period are they living in? Jesus
Nathaniel Sullivan
The balkans still function with 18th century politics and rules american.
Jackson Clark
Imagine calling yourself after Italian.
Josiah Adams
yep. change to "Alleghania" never?
Jacob King
Ah yes, the Republic of North Macedonia formerly known as Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia, or RONMFKAFYROM for short.
Why North Macedonia? How about >Fyromia >Vardarska >Vardaria >West Bulgaria >Lesser Bulgaria >Belabulgar >South Serbia >Slavalbania
Christian Taylor
It should be Vardar Wallachia and they should let vlachs rule them and start speaking their language.
Zachary Fisher
Maybe we should sponsor this. We should offer any Vlach willing to move there free housing and free land.

Imagine having to give in to the demands of fucking Grease.
Hopefully once Macedonia enters NATO and the EU they can then get their revenge on Grease some day. Grease has been so incredibly ill-willed that they really deserve nothing less.

Godbless, it's gonna bring the government down sooner than expected and have elections so Golden Dawn can gain more power.
>Godbless, it's gonna bring the government down sooner than expected Why?
Don't tell Greeks are still butthurt even with the name "North Macedonia"?
Easton Young
What happened to the Greek Macedonians that lived there?
were they raped? I know that Greek was the lingua franca even in the Slavic region
Dominic Martin
it's pretty strange, most countries of the same people wont to unite and yet you had yugoslavia where they dissolved into a multi year civil war trying to break off each other. And you have after effects like Macedonjska that's doesn't want to be associated at all with them.
yeah we had like half a million people rallying in thessaloniki when this happened, and in conjuction with the sky high rates of crimes committed by foreigners the far right is getting momentum. I wont be surprised if they try to murder the prime minister at some point after he steps down.
Justin Jenkins
they already lynched the mayor for being supporting the name dispute stuff
>Kammenos is head of the co-ruling right-wing Independent Greeks party, which with Tsipras’ leftist Syriza party has a slim majority in Greece’s parliament.
>He has called the Macedonia deal a national sell-out and has threatened to resign if it comes before the Greek parliament.
Dominic Perry
Columbian was popular for a good 100 or so years, until some south american country ruined that
The gov is a coalition of a "right"-wing and a left-wing party. The folks at the "right"-wing party are still not happy with the deal and have threatened to split the gov when the maqes finally get their new name. They probably won't follow through on their threats. The area was undergoing a population bottleneck anyways, so slavs ended up becoming the majority population there. Some of thee slavs were assimilated into the local Greek populations, while others eventually became Bulgarians. Said Bulgarians now aren't there uwu
Tyler Carter
No idea. When Slavs came to Croatia, the Slavenisation was relatively rapid. Few decades for rural regions like mountain villages, while larger urban settlements had a Slavic majority within 1 to 3 centuries. I guess when your empire is falling apart, the emperor isn't even trying to assert authority over you and you're surrounded by a bunch of Slavs, you end up learning the Slavic language.
Also, the Slavs in Eastern Balkans were pretty hostile and besieged Byzantine cities. They tried taking Thessaloniki half a dozen times.
Isaiah Lopez
We have a word for our people, its called Anglos or Britons. Americans are just people who are citzens of the USA
Lincoln Rogers
Anglos are named after a peninsula in Schleswig. And do Americans genuinely call themselves Britons? That's some high-level "muh ancestors" shit.
Benjamin Murphy
>>And do Americans genuinely call themselves Britons? That's some high-level "muh ancestors" shit. never heard it in my life, might be from maine or utah? or autistic
genocided, only a remnants remained in the south. but there were also many latin speaking peoples who became the aromanians.
Luke Lopez
So this is the power of Greece...

>Greece REEE'd so hard they managed to make another country change their fucking name I'm glad NATO doesn't know how weaponized autism works.
Samuel Ortiz

Julian Hughes
Man, the same boomers that go to these "patriotic" rallies are the same people who go to Northern macedonia for gambling and whoring.
Easton Lewis
The Northern part of Greek Macedonia had quite a few Slavic inhabitants before Greece either killed, expelled or assimilated them starting with the Balkan wars and ending with the Greek civil war after WWII. They also settled the Anatolian Greeks they got after the population exchange agreement with Turkey in those same territories.
Matthew Ortiz
This is retarded, people are still going to call them Macedonia, this fixes nothing.
Henry Reyes
