Partitioned Macedonia

It is clear that Macedonia was not “liberated” by the Greek army (as the modern Greeks claim) today but occupied by the same. One liberates ones own territory from foreign rule, and only foreign territories are occupied.

Besides the VMRO (United) mouthpiece “Makedonsko Delo”, there were many other newspapers published by the Diaspora.

Greece was a winner and quite triumphant after the acquisition of Thessaloniki and most of Macedonia up to and including the port of Kavala,

After the Balkan Wars, Macedonia was completely devastated. Besides the tens of thousands killed in the war, there were several hundreds of thousands of refugees. More than 135,000 Macedonians escaped from the Aegean part of Macedonia occupied by the Greek army alone.
