	Macedonia
		Macedonia is a geographical and historical region of the Balkan peninsula in south-eastern Europe, with an area of around 67,000 sq.km.
		The Greek part is sometimes referred to as Aegean Macedonia (in Greece called Makedonia[?]), the F.Y.R.O.M. as Vardar Macedonia and the Bulgarian part as Pirin Macedonia[?].
		World War I and its aftermath led in the 1920s to the exchange between Greece and Turkey of most of Macedonia's Turkish minority and the Greek inhabitants of Thrace and Anatolia, as a result of which Aegean Macedonia experienced a large addition to its population and became overwhelmingly Greek in ethnic composition.

		Macedonia is a geographical and historical region of the Balkan peninsula in southeastern Europe whose area was re-defined in the early 20th century.

		Macedonia was renamed 'South Serbia'; Bulgarians schools and churches were closed; Bulgarian customs and holidays were banned; those who were caught singing Bulgarian songs were prosecuted; Bulgarians were obliged to adopt Serbian-style names; and all those who refused to call themselves 'Serbs' were harried and persecuted.
		Indeed, no representative from Macedonia was even present at the sessions of the Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia, held in Bihac (November 1942) and Jajce (November 1943), which drew up plans for the future federal Yugoslavia and decided that Macedonia should form part of it.

	Macedonia for the Macedonians
		The number of Macedonians in Aegean Macedonia began to decline both in absolute terms and as a percentage of the total population during the Balkan wars and particularly after the First World War.
		At the same time, special sub-commissions were formed in the newly-established districts in the Aegean part of Macedonia, whose task it was to study the problem on the spot and to suggest new names for the villages and towns in the respective districts.
		Thus in the period from 1918 to 1925 inclusive, 76 centres of population in Aegean Macedonia were renamed: in 1918 - one; in 1919 - two; in 1920 - two; in 1921 - two; in 1922 - eighteen; in 1923 - eighteen; in t924 - six and in 1925 - twenty-six.

	Macedonian Heritage - FAQ
		In Roman times the name Macedonia was used for a much wider area, including Paeonia (but not Dardania), parts of Thrace, Thessaly, and Southern Greece, while in the Byzantine Empire it was completely disassociated from classical Macedonia; it was a division (theme) in Thrace bordering on the Black Sea.
		Riding on the wagon of terminological confusion, historians and linguists from Belgrade and Skopje codified the Slavic dialects in Macedonia as a new Slavic language: the “Macedonian language” (makedonski jazik).
		This was the linguistis’ contribution to assist the new state (the People’s Republic of Macedonia) in moulding a new Slavic nation—the “makedonska natsia”—as a means of severing the Bulgarian connection of the Slav-speakers of Macedonia.
