England handed those people in bondage to Greece, instead of giving the Macedonians freedom." - 1947 official statement by Polish-American US Congressman George Sadowski to the US House of Representatives.

Kosta Alabakov- a native indigenous ethnic Macedonian from Buf (Bouf) which came under Greek colonial rule in 1912. At age 16 in 1943 he joined the Macedonia Partizans (SNOF) which was allied to the Greek resistence movement ELAS and Tito’s Yugoslav Partizans. He and others like him fought the Nazis in Greece. @KitKlarenberg @georgegalloway #macedonia @BillNicholov @mhrmi

October 1912 - End of Balkan War. 1912 TURKISH PLAN -DANISH PRINCE ON THE MACEDONIAN THRONE! GRACIOUS AND HONOURABLE IN DEFEAT - The Ottoman Turks after being defeated by Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia and Montenegro in the Balkan War of 1912 offered to make Macedonia an eventual independent Kingdom with a Danish Prince on the throne and with Salonica as its capital. It would have solved the Macedonian question immediately and established long lasting peace and stability in the Balkans. But alas it was not to be ------------------------------- HARALD THE GREAT ! The first Balkan War began in October 1912 and would eventually lead to the partition of Macedonia by late 1913. The Ottoman Turkish Empire, which had ruled Macedonia for nearly 500 years, was defeated by Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria, who then helped themselves to the spoils of war. But the Ottomans tried to salvage the situation as best as possible by offering a Macedonian principality, in effect the eventual path to an independent Macedonian kingdom ruled by a Danish prince but under initial Turkish suzerainty. Salonica would be the capital. But the offer was rejected by Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria who were hellbent on grabbing native Macedonian lands. France, Germany, Britain were the traditional patrons of the monarchies of Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia. A proposed Macedonian kingdom faced fierce opposition. @bipdirector @velikinoldini @MarioHristovski @DimitarBechev @gankacv @ilijadimovski @vonderleyen @RJaarsma @Andric1961 @BillNicholov @mhrmi #macedonia
