Why did former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia change their name from Vardaria to Macedonia?
The name "Macedonia" in relation to the Former Yugoslav Republic represents no ethnic, historical or political reality. Greece is very right to oppose the use of its historical name for what is clearly an expansionist agenda.
- The ancient Kingdom of Macedonia was in the northern Greek peninsula.
- The modern province of Macedonia is in the northern Greek peninsula.
- There is an unbroken record of people identifying with a Greekethnic linguistic and cultural identity, continuously inhabiting the land of historical Macedonia from the present to ancient times.
- Macedonia was liberated from foreign occupation in 1912.
- The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is a newly founded Slavic state on what was once the kingdoms of ancient Paeonia and Dardania and is unrelated to the historical Macedonia on the northern Greek peninsula.
- As part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, FYROM was known as Vardar Banovina but was renamed, the Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1946 as part of an agenda to wrest historical Macedonia from Greece and forge for Yugoslavia a pathway to the strategically located Aegean Sea.
- The use of simply "Macedonia" to describe this unrelated Slavic state is in violation of Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversity that 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).
- Quote: The Department has noted with considerable apprehension increasing propaganda rumors and semi-official statements in favor of an autonomous Macedonia emanating from Bulgaria, but also from Yugoslav partisan and other sources with the implication that Greek territory would be included in the projected State. This Government considers talk of "Macedonian Nation", "Macedonian Fatherland", or "Macedonian National Consciousness" to be unjustified demagogueryrepresenting no ethnic or political reality, and sees in its present revival a possible cloak foraggressive intentions against Greece.
U.S. State Dep. Foreign Relations Vol. VII, Circular Airgram [868.014] Edward R. Stettinius
- Quote: For (**Fyr)Macedonia to be recognized as an independent state, it would be necessary to change its name [...] It is historically proven that the Yugoslavian Democracy of Macedonia was created by Stalin, Tito and Dimitrov, aiming at the stealthy removal of a large part of Northern Greece. This Democracy was used during the period 1944-1949 in order to destabilise Greece.

Why did Greeks ignore the rise of Macedonia?
Demosthenes of Athens warned the Athenians. He was protecting Athenian interests and hegemony over Greece. Demosthenes harbored a personal grudge against Philip because of the humiliation he suffered when he lost his power of speech at the Macedonian court (Aischines, On the Embassy 35), Demosthenes called Philip a barbarian but he would call anyone he did not like a barbarian, including fellow Athenians (Dem. 21.150). Some propagandists have used this word to claim that Macedonian were not thought of as Greek by the rest of Greece but the word, at least in some uses by Demosthenes and others, should be understood as a generic insult. Thus, for example, in some parts of the USA people are dubious that people from other parts are "real Americans."
· [10] When, Athenians, will you take the necessary action? What are you waiting for? Until you are compelled, I presume. But what are we to think of what is happening now? For my own part I think that for a free people there can be no greater compulsion than shame for their position. Or tell me, are you content to run round and ask one another, "Is there any news today?" Could there be any news more startling than that a Macedonian is triumphing over Athenians and settling the destiny of Hellas? ~ Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by J. H. Vince, M.A. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1930. Demosthenes, after failing to convince that Macedonians were barbarians, in order to uprise Athenians and after the success of a united Greece under Macedonian hegemony said: "No king of the Hellenes had ever conquered Egypt with the exception only of Alexander, and that he did without war..."
"Even though Xerxes had a huge host with him, he was a barbarian and was defeated by the prudence of the Hellenes; whereas Alexander the Hellene (GREEK) has already engaged in 13 battles and has not been defeated once."
[2.3.4.-5; Oration of Demosthenes] When the battle of hegemony was fought it was the Athenians and their ally Greeks that met the Macedonians and their ally Greeks on the fields of Chaeronea. From this, the Pan-Hellenic league of Corinth was created with Macedonia as hegemon over the other states. The emiment historian J. B. Bury writes: As the hegemony or first place among Greek states had passed successively from Athens to Sparta, and to Thebes, so now it passed to Macedon. The statement that Greek liberty perished on the plain of Chaeronea is as true or as false as that it perished on the field of Leuctra or the strand of the Goat's River. Whenever a Greek state became supreme, that supremacy entailed the depression of some states and the dependency or subjection of others. Athens was reduced to a secondary place by Macedon, and Thebes fared still worse; but we must not forget what Sparta, in the day of her triumph, did to Athens, or the more evil things which Thebes proposed.
- The capital Macedonia, the ancient kingdom, was first Aegae (Vergina), and then Pella, both on the northern Greek peninsula.
- The capital of Macedonia, the modern province is Thessaloniki on the northern Greek peninsula.
- The capital of the unrelated Balkan nation in the southern Balkans, (The Former Yugoslav) Republic of Macedonia is Skopje.
What weapons and strategies did Macedonia use in battle?
The core of the Macedonian army was the revolutionized phalanx that used the sarissa (18 to 20 meters pikes), and a highly trained infantry. The military was positioned in a box formation, making it impossible to attack them from any angle other than frontal position. The soldiers carried light uniforms, making it possible for them to manoeuvre on the field and each soldier was required to place his pike on the shoulder of the man before him, which further increased the defensive stance of the phalanx. Every unit of the phalanx had its own commander, which made communication easier. Each unit of the phalanx consisted of 1540 men, divided into three subdivisions of 512 men. Each division was divided in 32 "dekas", or a line of 10, later 16 warriors.
Aside from the phalanx, the army of Alexander the Great also included a unit of hypaspists, or also called shield-bearers. They carried shorter spears, or javelins. The hypaspists were more mobile, and they could move from one side to another with ease. There were three classes of hypaspists, one of which was in charge of guarding the King.The Cavalry was the single greatest weapon in Alexander's disposal. It was his main strike force and a unit he could always count on. The cavalry was divided into two sections, the companions and the scouts.
The companion section was divided into eight squadrons of 200 men armed with nine-foot lance and with little armor. Alexander always kept a steady supply of horses and reserves, since he knew that his cavalry is the most important unit of the Army. Alexander was always in the front of the battle, and he led the Royal Companion squadron that was always positioned on the right side of the phalanx.
Alexander the Great led from the front of the battle. He believed his presence would strike fear in the opposing army and inspire his own. No matter that he was vulnerable at the position, Alexander was always in the front of the battle.
His units were positioned in a wedge position, which Alexander believes made them harder to crack and impossible for the opposing army to punch a hole in it.
When he was striking, Alexander always struck in the center of the opposing army with his phalanx, trying to strike in an oblique angle. At the same time, he used the cavalry to punch holes in the flanks.
The wedge position of his army allowed Alexander to counter missiles from enemy lines. Since he had the shield bearers in front, they could easily counter the concentration with missiles from the opposing front. The men in the wedge deployed in either trapezoid or triangular formation. The wedge helped Alexander to smash into the enemy line, and maximize the effect of his long-range weapons, such as javelins.
However, probably the biggest strength of the Army of Alexander was its mobility. Alexander was a brilliant mind, great tactician and military specialist. He often made in battle adjustments, but he needed his army to be able to move fast and quickly relocate from one to another position. To enable that movement, Alexander used light armor for his army. Additionally, Alexander always scouted the terrain where the battle could occur, and he tried to maximize the potential and advantages of the terrain.
