Ethnic Map of the Macedonians of the Aegean, 1946!

[Daskalot]

Here is an interesting map showing the area which is inhabited by ethnic Macedonians, the map is from the Greek Civil war.



Please notice the thick black line, which according to the legend corresponds to the ETHNIC BORDER OF THE MACEDONIANS.

Source: The map was published in the Yugoslav newspaper Borba, August 26th 1946.

Was this map used by the Partizans as a basis for identifying territories that should be liberated from Greek-occupation?

It is interesting where Stefan Verkovich claims that the area around Thessaly is the point which separates the Slav and Greek worlds. I guess by 1946, anybody around those parts would have been under severe pressure to be Neohellenized and would have lost their native culture after decades of racist assimilation.

I know this doesnt count for anything, but would just like to mention, that my Papou always told me that when he would tell me about the different parts of Greece...

Herer a better quality of the pictures...

One question guys-
Do you cosider the 3 fingered penisula (Chalkidiki I think) as part of Agean Macedonia?

Nice, thank you TriKilaBanani, are they from the same source?

Yes, we do consider Chalkidiki as a part of Aegean Macedonia.

It is an historical border, from ancient times until the end of the Ottoman empire.

I do not have information regarding that SoM, but it is very likely if you go by the maps. Maybe TriKilaBanani has more information regarding this?

[El Bre]

Wow, that map certainly does tell a story.

[Daskalot]

it certainly does El Bre, the Greeks must be asked; "what happened to those people?"

[El Bre]

Good question

[Daskalot]

I think we know the answer to that. The one's in the east ran, or were shipped off to Bulgaria, while those in the west have been assimilated to within an inch of their former selves.

correct observation, but our Greek fiends will always find some clever "workaround" to get it to fit into their agenda.

I do. And I accept the Greek minority that inhabited the region also.

Likewise. Some parts are ethnographically Greek or Vlach or Turk, but it is geographically Macedonian and the Halkidik peninsula along with other parts in the south naturally belong together with the Macedonian hinterland further north.
