Dear FYROM Propaganda-User above...,
By
This review is from: A History of Macedonia: Volume II: 550-336 B.C. (Hardcover)
A review of a book is no place for your pathetic propaganda!!! The county named Macedonia exists under its name since the boarders of Greece grew to the point where they stand today. The policy, you are mentionning, is a product of your propaganda-Mafia and of the phantasy of a state without its own identity and history. Greece is not responsible for your pityful lack of self esteem.
As Attiki, Hepeiros, Krete and many other regions official administrative counties of the Hellenik Republik are, so Macedonia has been one of them, from the point, that Macedonia entered the Hellenik Republik after the Balkan Wars. According to the othoman records, the greeks in the North were almost as many as the othomans and the bulgarophones were always a small minority. Macedonia was from the beginning of the history of this region to today a big part of the greek culture. Macedonia, with the pelasgian (the oldest greek tribe)-dorian population and the aolic dialect (the oldest dialect too) with doric influences in the ancient years, etymologically meaning the land with the high mountains, never lost its name or changed it. Don't try to make out of a big historian like Nicholas Hammond a fool, just in order to present your lies! Before Tito, your region was called Vardarska! There was nothing macedonian in it, wasn't it??? Tito had to come and as he often stated (in resume): We will bring our propaganda through, whatever it costs. And trully, the bulgarian-albanian-salad of the region ex-Vardarska tries its best to follow the dogma of Tito. After all the ancient writers, that proove Macedonia as a part of Greece, and despite the official name of the county, that is much older than from the 80's, despite the majority of greeks in the region even under the Othomans, despite the unbreakable continuity of greek speech and tradition through the centuries in this area, you are here, in a book review, to overdrow all this evidence with some lies against all political and historical reality! You are not even funny, but pityful and ridiculous for sure! To the book it self: For those, who seek a kind of encyclopedia about the north region of Greece, and especially about Macedonia in ancient times, this book is surely the right one for you. It covers all possible questions and it is based on ancient and modern sources. It can't get better. :D

Greek Denial of the Macedonian Name,
By A Customer
This review is from: A History of Macedonia: Volume II: 550-336 B.C. (Hardcover)
The most important thing to remember about the "Macedonian conflict" is that the Greek position has changed dramatically over the past decade. Official Greek government policy was that Macedonia did not exist. When Greece took over Aegean Macedonia in 1913, they killed, tortured and ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of Macedonians. They changed the names of people, villages, and landmarks from Macedonian to Greek in their attempts to eradicate the Macedonian name.Two things to remember: 1. It is ironic that Greeks now "love Macedonia" when they tried to eradicate its very existence. 2. If Macedonia has always been Greek, why did the Greek government deny its existence until the 1980's?
