Do a research about the Greek Sacred Squad which got formed after the fall of Crete.. You will be surprised at their record.. They liberated the Greek islands in the end..

@tonipetrovski9006 A linguist and historian. Who are you to tell me that Bulgarian language is suddenly "macedonian"?

@bojanbukovski1995 I find it more pathetic that you don't understand how serious this is. The name was chosen by Tito because he hoped he could invade Greece one day and take Thessaloniki. Therefore, the name itself shows skopjans see Greek territory as their own. The matter of Constantinople was settled with the treaty of Lausanne, "Megali idea" stopped being a thing 100 years ago. Get a grip. As for Turkey, we currently oppose the Turkish "Mavi Vatan" ideology according to which half the Aegean should be theirs. Why? For the same reason we oppose skopjans. Both skopjans and Turks are trying to steal more greek sovereign land. As you can see we have the balls to go against the Turks no matter how "stronger" or "bigger" you think they are. Also, Turks at least acknowledge the fact they took Constantinople from us (and they are actually proud of it) they don't try to rewrite history and make it sound they built Constantinople. Lastly, your "macedonians" today are nothing more than the result of Tito's propaganda. King Philip and Alexander were Hellenes/Greeks and there is plenty of historical and archaeological evidence to prove this. We are more serious about our long History than Italians are about their food. So yeah, for us this matter is really serious.

@tatjanavelkova5814 There is no "MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE" you speak Bulgarian....

I might add there is a small group who speak ill of Metaxas today.. It's a sorry minority of modern communists..

@mladenmatosevic4591 you just reminded me the Skpjans call this "War of Independence", without realizing it was just a civil war where they sided with the Greek commies. Totally forgot it. Thank you for the laugh! 🤣🤣

@hakan-rj7qh There was not a nation in the region??? You mean before the age of nationalism there were not nations as we know them today? What a surprise! (not) 🙃 By your logic you had no nation before 1923 either. All Aegean was Greek for 2000 years, before your people were even an idea, let alone a nation. The Aegean Islands are Greek and therefore the sea around them is Greek. This is not debatable, it is a hard undeniable fact. You have no rights in our waters. Period. Also spare me your lies, people who think our nation is cool don't try to steal even more land and water from it.

@tatjanavelkova5814 Still I see no etymology of Alexander or Philip. 🤣

@anemosbar3917 I am having too much fun asking questions they cannot answer.

@tatjanavelkova5814 Can you tell me the etymology of "Philip"?

@lordMartiya Glad to see you provided zero counterarguments.

@tatjanavelkova5814 Yes Tito the creator of this joke ...

@lordMartiya "(as most of them descend from Florentine immigrants due the city getting depopulated in the 16th century and a series of Florentine Popes bringing in replacements from their homeland)." You got this right out of your stomach. However, I do agree that the Roman period is part of the Greek History..... :) That doesn't change anything though.. Nor does it help you in any way....

@lordMartiya Your rumblings are not "historical facts" try again...
1
@lordMartiya Also your reading comprehension skills are low...
1
@lordMartiya Hahahaha I live in an echo chamber now. That's some convenient narrative right here. Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess..... Sadly for you, I don't live in any echo chamber. Also, you asked why you need help when i said the fact the Roman Period is part of the long Greek History doesn't help your argument. Your English are either poor or you have reading comprehension skills. So let me say the same thing in different words. This argument doesn't mean some Slavs today can claim they are "Macedonians".
1
@lordMartiya Oh and the fact you act like you are an enlightened person while seriously believing that most of modern Greeks today descent from roman immigrants who fled the Italian peninsula after the sack of Rome is disgusting to say the least. The period of the eastern roman empire is far more complex than your simple mind can possibly comprehend.
1
@lordMartiya Also, what you say about Ancient Macedonians is blatantly wrong. Ancient Macedonians were Hellenic people and there are countless of archeological and historical evidence to back that up. No, the ancient Macedonians were not "barbarians" (which actually meant non-hellenic).
1
@lordMartiya I have read your BS and it is just that. BS. Romans were assimilated by Greeks culturally, not the other way around. The reason the name "Roman" became more prominent and the name "Hellene" was forsaken after a while was religious and it mostly had to do with Christianity. And that's mainly because calling yourself a "Hellene" meant you were a pagan as well. Oh yes, words change meaning throughout the ages and the concept of nationality was not as relevant then as it was during the age of nationalism (18th century AD). That must be a huge discovery for you. However, the Romans of the Eastern Roman Empire started reusing their "Hellene" name way earlier than you think. The 11th century AD to be more precise. You are also basing your Macedonians=barbarians argument on a propaganda piece written by Demosthenes (you actually didn't even mention it but that's the only ancient piece of text in favor of your fragile theory, just one more case I know more than you I guess). So yeah, congrats on acting like you are an enlightened, open-minded scholar when you are actually none of those things.

@HistoryHustle Perhaps be more careful with your title. I am not interested in listening to anyone who puts a title like this in their video. I am unsubscribed.
1
@tatjanavelkova5814 Yeah sure the "nation of Macedonia" existed before the concept of nationalism was even invented..... xD HAHAHAHAHHAHA the ignorance is astounding. King Philip was a Hellene, and Hellenes have existed long before your people were even an idea. You are nothing more than Tito's bad joke... He created you.
1
@lordMartiya Yeah sure in your dreams! :D You provided nothing, you debunked nothing. What's wrong you forgot to take your meds?
1
@lordMartiya Keep having your delusions. I bring up undisputed facts which you conveniently ignore and then act like you debunked them somehow by mentioning completely irrelevant BS or straight up misinformation. 🤦 I am not sure what you think you achieve this way but I refuse to take part in this charade of yours any further. Bye.

@lordMartiya The only thing that proves is I am fed up by your act and your lies.

@lordMartiya And no... Misinformation doesn't count as "evidence" nor "debunking"..
1
@goxyeagle8446 There are tons of comments detailing why. It's your choice if you want to stay ignorant about it.
1
@lordMartiya Sure mate whatever helps you sleep at night. Keep believing that the irrelevant half-truths and misinformation you provided debunked anything. 🤣 The fact you make up convenient narratives means I am right about your character, intelligence AND your sanity. How about YOU looking up the facts I provided and actually answer to them with relevant valid information instead of just pretending you have done so? 😀It might do wonders to help your condition. Your therapist might be surprised at your progress if you actually face reality for once.

Did the have any Dutch chance ?

Macedonia on wiki might produce results about the real Macedonia though! 😂

@VikingTeddy No matter the period Macedonia is only one! 😉

@HistoryHustle Just please, recall the "Macedonian" bs... I understand that foreigners lack the proper insight but there is no macedonian ethnicity.. You are a historian, so please tell me what the Ancient Kingdom of Macedonia (whose expansion started the Hellenistic Era) has to do with slavic culture? The only Macedonians are, were and will be Greek.. There is nothing slavic about Macedonia.. You can even make a whole video about how and why some slavs today are indoctrinated to the point they are calling themselves "Macedonians"..
1
@eugenianatsoulidou1098 Propaganda at its finest. Lies and misinformation. You are not gaining anything like that.
1
@TheStefchoo So it's a slavic language and therefore it has nothing to do with Ancient Macedonia. Also, what you said about the differences between your "macedonain" language and Bulgarian. You think that means anything or helps your case? You can make the exact same claim for all different dialects around the world. If a Cypriot, a Kynourian, a Vlach or Pontic person start speaking their dialect I won't understand a thing as well. That doesn't change the fact all the above examples are dialects of Greek. So tru again with a better argument.
1
@neddobrijevic3183 Awesome argument that's the best you can do? 🤣🤣🤣
1
@lubicamitrevski7079 That doesn't the fact they speak the same language. You can feel as different as you like just don't go calling yourself something that is not.
1
@madness8556 Different dialects of the same language.... Learn the difference between the term "dialect" and "language", many in this thread seems to not know it. Educate yourselves.
