[slavicwolf]

here you can see from real figures on the ethnic status in macedonia in the late 1800's and early 1900's
just one more peice of evidence to say macedonia has been bulgarian since the slavs arrived.

This macedoniainfo.com link and its "census" sources' lack of integrity have been discussed before on this forum.

Does anyone have amore accurate census?

Bulgarians can't claim the whole region of Macedonia as theirs just because they are the majority in the largest part of Macedonia (Vardar and Pirin combined).

Thats like Bulgarians claiming the whole region of Thrace because they are the majority of people in the region of Thrace, even though there are Greeks and Turks in the south.

Skopje and the majority of what they now call "Vardar" Macedonia was never part of any geographical descriptions of Macedonia until the 19th century. If the Albanians included Kosovo and Central and Northern Albania in their definition of "Macedonia", then they would be the majority!

cant you see that we were a majority not only in the vardar and pirin region but also in the aegaen region, i belive those figures and i know that that was the exact reason for the expulsion of the slavs from aegaen macedonia into bulgaria and vardar macedonia.
there is no denying it, im not claiming ancient macedonia here but that demographicly we were a majority up untill the expulsion took place.

That would have been statistically impossible.Even if we ignore the Muslim and Jewish polulation,other than Kilkis/KUkush you were the majority in exactly zero towns and cities.At best,you could have been a plurality but you werent even that.
IF youre saying many slavs went to VArdar Macedonia following the Balkan wars to live under SErbian rule,that means a lot of Serbs were living in Greek Macedonia.

This site is hilarious. Take this map which shows Bulgarians as the majority where there were none at all!



Have a look at the link "Thessaloniki was Solun before 1912" lol

This report was prepared in 1885 by the Secretary-General of the Bulgarian Exarchate describing the situation in Macedonia: [the writer of the report interprets Macedonia as the "Macedonia" of the San Stefano Treaty]

"If Europe were to demand today that the
Macedonian people decide on their fate and say to which nationality
they belong, we are certain that the largest part of the
Macedonian people and of Macedonia would slip away from our hands.
If we exclude two or three regions of Northern Macedonia, the
inhabitants of the other regions are ready to declare that they are
Greeks. If the Great Powers were to intervene and demand a
plebiscite to solve the Macedonian problem the Greeks would come out
as winners."
