Thessalonikibecame a centre ofOttomanadministration in the Balkans. While most of
Macedonia was ruled by the Ottomans, inMount Athosthe monastic community continued toexist in a state of autonomy. The remainder of theChalkidikipeninsula also enjoyed an
autonomous status: the Koinon of Mademochoria was governed by a locally appointed councildue to privileges obtained on account of its wealth, coming from the gold and silver mines in the
area.
There were several uprisings in Macedonia duringOttoman rule,including an uprising after the
Battle of Lepantothat ended in massacres of the Greek population, the uprising inNaousaof the

Greece gained the southern parts of region with Thessaloniki from theOttoman Empireafter the
First Balkan War,and expanded its share in theSecond Balkan Waragainst Bulgaria. Theboundaries of Greek Macedonia were finalized in theTreaty of Bucharest.InWorld War I,
Macedonia became a battlefield. The Greek Prime Minister,Eleftherios Venizelos,favoured
entering the war on the side of theEntente,while the Germanophile KingConstantine Ifavouredneutrality. Invited by Venizelos, in autumn 1915, the Allies landed forces in Thessaloniki to aidSerbiainits waragainst Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria, but their intervention came too late to
prevent the Serbian collapse. TheMacedonian Frontwas established, with Thessaloniki at its
heart, while in summer 1916 the Bulgarianstook overGreek eastern Macedonia without
opposition. This provoked a military uprising among pro-Venizelist officers in Thessaloniki,resulting in the establishment of a "Provisional Government of National Defence"in the city,

negotiations and anarmed confrontationin Athens between Entente and royalist forces the King
abdicated, and his second sonAlexandertook his place. Venizelos returned to Athens in June
1917 and Greece, now unified, officially joined the war on the side of the Allies.
InWorld War IIMacedonia wasoccupied by the Axis(194144), with Germany taking western
and central Macedonia with Thessaloniki and Bulgaria occupying and annexing easternMacedonia.
From the 1870s, Slavic[24]speaking communities of northern Greece split into two hostile andopposed groups with two different national identities - Greek and Bulgarian.[25]By the Second
World War and following the defeat of Bulgaria, another further split between the Slavic group
occurred. Conservatives departed with the occupying Bulgarian Army to Bulgaria. Leftists beganidentifying as Macedonians (Slavic), joining the communist-dominated rebelDemocratic Army
of Greece.[26]At the conclusion of theGreek Civil War(194649), most Macedonians of Slavic
background left Greece and settled in theYugoslavSocialist Republic of Macedonia.Some also
migrated toCanadaorAustralia.[27]
Etymology[edit]
Main article:Macedonia (terminology) Etymology
The nameMacedoniaderives from theGreek (Makedona),[28][29]akingdom(later,
region)named after theancient Macedonians.Their name, (Makednes), is cognateto theAncient Greekadjective(makedns), meaning "tall, slim". It was traditionally
derived from theIndo-Europeanroot *mak-, meaning 'long' or 'slender', but according to modern
research byRobert Beekesboth terms are ofPre-Greek substrateorigin and cannot be explained
in terms of Indo-European morphology.[30]
Local government[edit]
Macedonia is divided into threeregions(Greek:) comprising fourteenregional units
(Greek:). The regional units are further divided intomunicipalities
(Greek: ) or "communities" (Greek: roughly equivalent toBritishorAustralianshires). They are overseen by theMinistry for the Interior,while theMinistry of
Macedonia and Thraceis responsible for the coordination and application of the government's
policies in the region.[31]Prior to the Kallikratis Reform in 2010, Greece's regional units were
called "prefectures", andThasoswas part of the prefecture of Kavala.
Macedonia borders the neighboring regions ofThessalyto the south, Thrace (part of theEast
Macedonia and Thraceregion) to the east andEpirusto the west. It also bordersAlbaniato thenorth-west, theRepublic of Macedoniato the north andBulgariato the north-east. The three
Macedonian regions and their subdivisions are:

The geographical region of Macedonia also includes the male-onlyautonomousmonasticstate of
Mount Athos,but this is not part of the Macedonia precincts. Mount Athos is under the spiritual
jurisdiction of theEcumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople,and enjoys a special status: it isinaccessible to women;[33]its territory is a self-governed part of Greece, and the powers of the
state are exercised through a governor. TheEuropean Uniontakes this special status into
consideration, particularly on matters of taxation exemption and rights of installation.
[34]
Thegovernor of Mount Athos is appointed by the Greek Foreign Ministry.

Macedonian cuisine[edit]
Main article:Macedonian cuisine (Greek)
The arrival of Greek refugees from Asia Minor and Constantinople in the 20th century
popularised Ottoman and Constantinopolitan recipes.
A continuation from ancient days is dishes such as lamb cooked with quince or variousvegetables and fruits, goat boiled or fried in olive oil: modern recipes from Kavala to Kastoria
and Kozani offer lamb with quince, pork with celery or leeks.
Some current specialties are trahana with crackling, phyllo-based pies (cheese, leek, spinach) and
wild boar. Favourites are tyrokafteri (Macedonian spicy cheese spread), soupies krasates
(cuttlefish in wine), mydia yiachni (mussel stew). Unlike Athens, the traditional pita bread for
the popular souvlaki (kebab) is not grilled but fried. The variety of sweets has been particularlyenriched with the arrival of the refugees. (Information included from 'Greek Gastronomy',

Kastoria.
The inhabitants of Greek Macedonia are overwhelmingly ethnicGreeksand most areGreek
OrthodoxChristians.InEast Macedonia and Thracethere is also a sizable Muslim minorityconsisting mainly ofPomaksandWestern Thrace Turks,although almost allGreek Muslim
communities of Western Macedonia such as theVallahadesleft the region as part of the
Population exchange between Greece and Turkeyof 1922-23. MostPontic GreeksandCaucasus
Greekswho came to Greece during or shortly before the 1922-23 population exchange withTurkey were resettled in Greek Macedonia rather than other parts Greece, mainly in towns and
villages that had had large Muslim populations until 1922. From the Middle Ages to the early
20th century, theethnic composition of the region of Macedoniais characterized by uncertaintyboth about numbers and identification. The 1904Ottomancensus of Hilmi Pasha recorded
373,227 Greeks and 204,317Bulgariansin thevilayet of Selnik(Thessaloniki)alone.
According to the same census, Greeks were also dominant in thevilayet of Monastir(Bitola),counting 261,283 Greeks and 178,412 Bulgarians. Hugh Poulton, in his Who Are the
Macedonians, notes that "assessing population figures is problematic"[36]for the territory of
Greek Macedonia before its incorporation into the Greek state in 1913.[36]The area's remaining
population was principally composed ofOttoman Turks(including non-Turkish Muslims of
mainly Bulgarian and Greek Macedonian convert origin) and also a sizeable community ofmainlySephardic Jews(centred in Thessaloniki), and smaller numbers ofRomani,Albanians
andVlachs.
During the first half of the twentieth century, major demographic shifts took place, which
resulted in the region's population becoming overwhelmingly ethnic Greek. In 1919, after Greekvictory in World War I, Bulgaria and Greece signed theTreaty of Neuilly,which called for an
exchange of populations between the two countries. According to the treaty, Bulgaria was
considered to be the parent state of all ethnic Slavs living in Greece. Most ethnic Greeks fromBulgaria were resettled in Greek Macedonia; most Slavs were resettled in Bulgaria but a number
remained, most of them by changing or adapting their surnames and declaring themselves to be
Greek so as to be exempt from the exchange.[citation needed]
In 1923 Greece andTurkeysigned theTreaty of Lausannein the aftermath of theGreco-Turkish War (19191922),and in total 776,000Greek refugees fromTurkey(674,000),Bulgaria(33,000),Russia(61,000),Serbia(5,000),
Albania(3,000) were resettled in the region.[37]They replaced between 300,000 and 400,000
Macedonian Turks and other Muslims (of Albanian, Roma, Slavic and Vlach ethnicity) who
were sent to Turkey under similar terms.[38]

Macedonian cities during Ottoman rule were often known by multiple names (Greek, Slavic or
Ottoman Turkish by the respective populations). After the partition of Ottoman Europe, most
cities in Greece either became officially known by their Greek names oradopted Greek names;likewise most cities in Bulgaria and theKingdom of Yugoslaviabecame officially known or
adopted names in the languages of their respective states. After the population exchanges, many
locations were renamed to the languages of their new occupants.

The population was badly affected by theSecond World Warthrough starvation, executions,
massacres and deportations. Central Macedonia, including Thessaloniki, was occupied by theGermans, and in the east Nazi-aligned Bulgarian occupation forces persecuted the localGreek
populationand settled Bulgarian colonists in their occupation zone in eastern Macedonia and
western Thrace, deporting all Jews from the region. Total civilian deaths in Macedonia are
estimated at over 400,000, including up to 55,000 Greek Jews. Further heavy fighting affectedthe region during theGreek Civil Warwhich drove many inhabitants of rural Macedonia to
emigrate to the towns and cities, or abroad, during the late 1940s and 1950s.

Regional identity[edit]
Main article:Macedonians (Greeks)
Apogevmatiniheadline quotingKostas Karamanlis:
"I myself am a Macedonian, just as 2.5 million Greeks are Macedonians."
Macedonians (Greek:,Makednes) is the term by which ethnicGreeksoriginating
from the region are known. Macedonians came to be of particular importance during theBalkan
Warswhen they were a minority population inside theOttoman province of Macedonia.TheMacedonians now have a strong regional identity, manifested both in Greece[40]and by emigrant
groups in theGreek diaspora.[41]This sense of identity has been highlighted in the context of the
Macedonian naming disputeafter thebreak-up of Yugoslavia,in which Greece objects to its
northern neighbour calling itself the "Republic of Macedonia", since explicit self-identificationasMacedonianis a matter of national pride for many Greeks.[42]A characteristic expression of
this attitude could be seen when Greek newspapers headlined a declaration byPrime Minister
Kostas Karamanlisat a meeting of theCouncil of EuropeinStrasbourgin January 2007, sayingthat "I myself am a Macedonian, and another two and a half million Greeks are Macedonians."
The distinct regional identity of Greek Macedonians is also the product of the fact that it was
closer to the centres of power in both theByzantineandOttomanperiod, was consideredculturally, politically, and strategically more important than other parts of Greece during these
two periods, and also the fact that the region had a far more ethnically and religiously diverse
population in both the medieval and Ottoman periods. In the late Byzantine period Greek

8/11/2019 Macedonia Ottoman Rule
11/16
Macedonia had also been the centre of significant Byzantine successor states, such as the
Kingdom of Thessalonica,the short-lived state established by the rival Byzantine emperor,
Theodore Komnenos Doukas,and - in parts of western Macedonia - theDespotate of Epirus,allof which helped promote a distinct Greek Macedonian identity. In the contemporary period this
is reinforced by Greek Macedonia's proximity to other states in the southern Balkans, the
continuing existence of ethnic and religious minorities inEast Macedonia and Thracenot foundin southern Greece, and the fact that migrants and refugees from elsewhere in the Balkans,southern Russia, and Georgia (includingPontic GreeksandCaucasus Greeksfrom northeastern
Anatoliaand thesouth Caucasus)have usually gravitated to Greek Macedonia rather than
southern Greece.
Minority populations[edit]
For more details on this topic, seeMinorities in Greece.
The exact size of the linguistic and ethnic minority groups of Macedonia is officially unknown,
as Greece has not conducted a census on the question of mother tongue since 1951. The mainminority groups in Macedonia are:
Slavic-speakers[edit]
Main articles:Slavic-speakers of Greek MacedoniaandMacedonians (Bulgarians)
Distribution of the Slavic Macedonian language in Florina Prefecture and Aridaia regions (1993).
Slavic-speakers are concentrated in theFlorina,Kastoria,Edessa,Giannitsa,PtolemaidaandNaousaregions. Their dialects are linguistically classified variously either asMacedonianor
Bulgarian,depending on the region and on political orientation. The exact number of the
minority is difficult to know, and its members' choice of ethnic identification is difficult toascertain (since some people are cautious in the replies that they give when surveys are
conducted). The Greek branch of the formerInternational Helsinki Federation for Human Rights
has estimated that those of anethnic Macedoniannational conscienceness number between
10,00030,000.[43]
Aromanians[edit]See also:Aromanians in GreeceandAromanian speakers of Greece
Aromanians form a minority population throughout much of Macedonia. They largely identify as
Greeks and most belong to the Greek Orthodox Church. In the 1951 census they numbered39,855 in all Greece (the number in Macedonia proper is unknown). Many Aromanians villages
can be found along the slopes of theVermion MountainsandMount Olympus.Smaller numbers
can be found in thePrespesregion and near theGramosmountains.
