Republic of Macedonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the late 6th century AD Byzantine control over the area disintegrated, and the region was submerged by the arrival from the north of pagan Slavic tribes, that assimilated the preexisting Illyrian,Thracian, Greek and Latin-speaking inhabitants. |
| | Following the two Balkan wars of 1912 and 1913 and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the region of Macedonia was divided between Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia. |
| | The Republic of Macedonia remained at peace through the Yugoslav wars of the early 1990s but was destabilized by the Kosovo War in 1999, when an estimated 360,000 ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo took refuge in the country. |
