Maps of Macedonia

[Vojnik]

Ethnographic map of West Macedonia. In a book by Dimitrios Lithoksou. Titled "the greek anti-macedonian struggle". From 1903-1905.


Macedonian Christians in red. 'Greek' Christians in dark blue. Turks in green.


And on the map table of contents there is written clearly "Makedones Hristianoi". Separate from "Ellines Hristianoi".

My village is in it. And it is full Macedonian Christian.

Who's that other Grkoman we have here? If i'm not mistaken, he is from either Gorno or Dolno Kleshtino. Gorno (upper) Kleshtino appears to be Albanian. Dolno (lower) Kleshtino appears to be Macedonian Christian.

Oh, I think it's Darknesswin.

No Tito did it!

i have no doubt many of you secretly pray to a Tito icon every night.

Wouldn't Greece have been more worried that Yugoslavia, a much larger, more powerful country, had a state named Macedonia? That would have been a much bigger threat.

Much larger, much more powerful is up for debate. Bigger issue was that Yugoslavia feared a Soviet invasion after the Tito-Stalin split.

Once Greece-Yugoslavia relations were normalized, what was the threat to Greece as long as it remained a province inside Yugoslavia, especially once Greece saw that it was treated like a red-headed stepchild within Yugoslavia?

Why didn't communist Yugoslavia worry that Greece had a province called Macedonia since 1912?

LOL, is this guy still alive? Old-time, unrepentant Greek communist with an axe to grind who has no standing among respected Balkan scholars. Perfect guy for the Srboman crowd.

And if that map was actually accurate (which it isn't), how the hell did you lose so badly?

It's showing Hrupishta as a very mixed village. With a majority Macedonian population.

Goes hand in hand with Vasil Kanchov's statistics:

В края на XIX век Хрупища е център на нахия в Костурска каза и има силно смесено население. Според статистиката на Васил Кънчов („Македония. Етнография и статистика“) в 1900 Хрупища има 2690 жители, от които 1100 българи, 700 турци, 720 власии 170 цигани.[3]

Out of 2690 people, Hrupishta had:
1100 Bulgarians (Macedonians), 700 Turks, 720 Vlachs, 170 Gypsies.

Which one did your relatives belong to out of those nationalities in 1900?

Hand in hand my purple butt. Kanchov called them Bulgarians, not Macedonians. If you cite his stats, then you have to call yourself Bulgarian. Otherwise you're a hypocrite.

Have you seen his other quote from another one of his books where he states that: "Bulgarians and Vlachs of Macedonia call themselves Macedonians, and the surrounding nations call them Macedonians. Turks and Albanians do not call themselves Macedonians. Greeks from the south don't call themselves Macedonians". That's a paraphrase of what Kanchov said purple butt.
