What is the conflict over the name Macedonia?
The Macedonia naming dispute is a political dispute regarding the use of the name Macedonia by the (Former Yugoslav) Republic of Macedonia, formerly a federal unit of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In antiquity, the territory of the present-day (Former Yugoslav) Republic of Macedonia equated approximately to the kingdom of Paeonia, which lay immediately north of ancient Macedonia. The modern Greek province of Macedonia approximately corresponds to that of ancient Macedonia. Pertinent to its background is an early 20th-century armed conflict that formed part of the background to the Balkan Wars and the battle for control over the area of historical Macedonia. The specific naming dispute was ignited in 1963 when Josip Broz Tito aiming to wrest the historical Macedonia from Greece and force an outlet to the Aegean sea for his country, renamed the southern Vardar Banovina of Yugoslavia by the name, "Socialist Republic of Macedonia" at the same time the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia was renamed the "Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia". With the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991, the former Socialist Republic of Macedonia was expected to end the communist expansionist agenda on Greece's northern province by choosing a name for itself that did not imply territorial claims on northern Greece. Instead, the newly founded country dropped the "Socialist" from its name and kept "Macedonia". Greece objected with an eventual UN interim accord being signed giving the newly created Slavic state the appellation "Former Yugoslav" as a provisional term to be used only until the dispute was resolved. Since then, it has been an ongoing issue in bilateral and international relations.
When did the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia get independence from Yugoslavia?
Macedonia was liberated from Ottoman Occupation in 1912 and united with the rest of Greece. It was never a part of Yugoslavia.Regarding The Former Yugoslav Republic and why it has been given the designation (FYROM) by the United Nations:The Republic of Former Yugoslavia north of historical Macedonia, is a newly founded Slavic state with a mixed ethnic population, on what was once the kingdoms of ancient Paeonia and Dardania, and is unrelated to the historical Macedonia on the northern Greek peninsula.The largest ethnic group in the Former Yugoslav Republic consist of Slavic and Turkic tribes of the Bulgarians, (People of the first Slavic and Bulgarian tribes) that began to slowly migrate into the area in the 6th century CE.The Former Yugoslav Republic north of the historical Macedonia, wants to self-identify as simply "Macedonia", a name given to it in 1946 by the communist regime of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia before its dissolution. This name represents no ethnic or political reality for the new Slavic Republic, and was given the name as part of an expansionist agenda to wrest historical Macedonia from northern Greece and forge for the communist Yugoslavia, a strategic pathway to the sea.FYRO"M"'s violation of the name "Macedonia"The use of simply "Macedonia" to describe the newly founded Slavic state is in violation of Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversitythat states that in the interest of harmonious interaction, one nation (The Former Yugoslav Republic) in exercising its right to self-determination, cannot diminish the equal right of another nation (Greece) to identify simply by its millennia old historical identity (Macedonia) which is historically, ethnically, culturally, geographically different to the new Slavic nation.The interim accord was signed under the auspices of the United Nations, with Greece compromising and agreeing to the temporary use of "Macedonia" with the qualifier "Former Yugoslav Republic by the new Slavic Republic, and the Republic of Former Yugoslavia agreeing to the name FYROM while it chooses a permanent name for itself that does not violate Greece's equal right to identify by its historical identity and that does not imply a territorial expansionist agenda on Greece's historical northern province.However, instead of honoring its agreements, the former Yugoslav Republic stalls on deciding on a name for itself, continues to violate the interim accord and Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversity by identifying itself only as "Macedonia", relentlessly creates a flood of propaganda, misappropriates Hellenic state symbols, and demonizes and distorts the history and historical perception of Greece. The government of FYROM, and its Diaspora continue to provoke Greece and meddle in Greece's domestic affairs.

There are some small exceptions which will be listed below: Taiwan was a member of the United Nations from its founding until 1972 when it was replaced by the People' Republic of China. The Soviet Union had one seat instead of the 15 or so former Soviet Republics that now exist. East Germany and West Germany were separate nations during the Cold War. Czechoslovakia represented both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Yugoslavia represented all of the Western Balkans (which is now six or seven independent countries). Eritrea only became independent of Ethiopia in 1991 and Namibia only became independent of South Africa in 1994.
