[quote:Nick the Greek 26453219:MV8xMDI4NTA1XzM1Nzg2NzY4XzU4QjAzMzQ5] Contrary to popular belief in some Slavic circles, particularly in FYRoM - there has never existed a race of peoples called Macedonians. As shocking as that may sound to some Slavs, the shock-waves get worse for them when they learn, there has never existed in historical verity, an independent nation called Macedonia. No race ever recorded in the demographic history of the Haemus peninsula went by the name Macedonia. No Nation of Macedonians was ever recorded in historical verity. Macedonians were neither a race nor a nation but an integral part of a much larger ethnic-Greek people-group, a collective which had in it's fold >230 known, affilated groups, tribes and kingdoms subscribing to a culture and a way of life known as Hellenism. It is impossible to define the Macedonians as a seperate race in their own right, on the basis, one would have to define the Spartans a seperate race also - an almost impossible thing to do because the Spartans were irrefutably Greek forming the Southern-branch of the famous Dorian-Greeks. The Macedonians formed the Northern-branch of the Dorians. It is impossible to define the Macedonians as a seperate Nation from the Hellenic one from which they sprang, on the basis, their National traits, customs and attributes never differed from the Greek ones. That some Slavs, in some Slavic circles, attempted, and still attempt to portray the Macedonians as a seperate peoples from the Greeks, serves only to remind us that Slavs still covet and still have eyes for Macedonia. Macedonians, like the Spartans are a regional historic people-group of ethnic-Greek stock - any attempts to define them differently would be taken seriously and treated accordingly. There has never existed outside of Hellenism, a Macedonian people-group. FYRoM's attempts to usurp that name to define themselves, their new Slavic country, nationality, language and ethnicity has met with such disdain and resistance, the country is being shunned internationally, shunted-up a siding, kept at arms length, at a distance from the rest of the European family of Nations.
