Why did former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia change their name from Vardaria to Macedonia?

Answer 1

"They didn't, it was Macedon - Macedonia - People's Republic of Macedonia - Republic of Macedonia - FYR Macedonia."

Wow. Are you serious? I suppose you are from the "Republic of Macedonia". d**n those are ignorant words. There was once Macedon, a Kingdom were they spoke a greek dialect or a language closely related to greek (in the same manner as Norweigan and Swedish). This Kingdom became famous after a greek named Alexander the Greate became its king. He then conqured and incorporated greece into this kingdom. From there he went on to conquer alot more and Macedon was forever famous, as was Alexander the Great, a greek. Today almost all of ancient Macedon proper is part of the Greece region of Macedonia. 1/3 of the territory of the modern state of Macedonia was also part of this Macedonia proper. During the World Wars Bulgarians in the territory of the modern state of Macedonia created this fictional nationality in order to get themselves a nation to govern. Today this has resulted in many ethnic Macedonians to live a lie which is fostered and inherited through generations. 

Macedonians were greek or closely related to the greek people. Alexander the Great was greek. I myself am Swedish but right and wrong in this question is so crystal clear you would have to be "Macedonian" (the slavic fake ones) to believe otherwise. Cultural heritage theft is what it is all about.
