Macedonia Overview
Macedonia, Macedonia, term for the historical landscape of the southern Balkan Peninsula, which is the current state of the Republic of North Macedonia, the Greek province of Macedonia (Greek or Aegean Macedonia), parts of eastern Bulgaria (eastern Rila and Pirin Mountains; Pirin or Bulgarian Macedonia), a small part of southern Serbia (in the area of the Šar Mountains and the watershed between Morava and Vardar) and Albania (on Lake Ohrid and Prespa).
The designation of the landscape roughly coincides with the borders of ancient Macedonia at the time of Philip II, which extended in the east to Nestos, in the north to the headwaters of Axios (Vardar), in the west, encompassing Lake Prespa, to the Vjosa and in the south to Thessaly. The heartlands of the Greek tribe of the Macedonians lay around the Thermaic Gulf (Greek Thermaikos Kolpos), which in ancient times comprised even larger parts of the alluvial plain formed by the Axios.
History: In the area of Macedonia, which has been continuously populated since the Neolithic Age, in ancient times called Greek Macedonia, Latin Macedonia, the north-west Greek Macedonians can be recorded as the oldest ethnic group, who were considered barbarians (non-Greeks) by the other Greeks. Their capital was Aigai, since the 5th and 4th centuries. Century Pella. Perdiccas I. (probably soon after 700 BC), under which they penetrated into the plain around the Gulf of Thessaloniki, founded the royal house of the Argeadians. The social structure of the people was determined by a free peasantry, a riding nobility and a kingship (with frequent bloody disputes over the throne). From 510 to 479 BC The country was repeatedly under Persian suzerainty.
Alexander I (at the time of the Persian Wars) and Archelaus (413–399), who drew Greek scholars and artists to his court in Pella, stand out among the kings of Macedonia before the middle of the 4th century. Macedonia owed its rise to a great power and rule over Greece to Philip II (359–336), who made most of the Balkan Peninsula dependent.
Under Alexander the Great (336–323), who extended the empire to the Indus, and after his death, Macedonia was under the administration of the administrator Antipater in 320/319, and under his son Kassander in 317–297.
In 294 Demetrios I Poliorketes asserted himself as king in Macedonia, but was expelled in 287.
The rule of the Antigonids (276–168 BC) began with his son Antigonus II Gonatas. After the defeat of Philip V (221–179) in the 2nd Macedonian War against the Romans (Battle of Kynoskephalai 197 BC), the area of power shrank to the Macedonian heartland (excluding Greece) (Macedonian Wars). Rome’s victory in the 3rd Macedonian War (171–168) over Philip’s son Perseus brought about the abolition of kingship and the division of Macedonia into four territories. After a final uprising (149), Macedonia became 148 BC. BC Roman province. Ancient Macedonia, which made up only part of the provincial territory, became under Diocletian (284–305 AD) divided into two administrative districts (Macedonia Prima and Macedonia Secunda). With the division of the empire in 395, Macedonia fell to the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire.
Since it belonged to the Roman Empire, Macedonia was latinized in the north (capital Scupi, today Skopje), and Graecised in the south (capital Thessaloniki). The invasions of the Goths and Huns in the 4th and 5th centuries had hardly any influence on the ethnic structure, but the Slavic tribes lasted from the 6th century onwards (Macedonians). In the 9th century, the future Bulgarian Tsar Simeon I, the Great, extended his empire over large parts of Macedonia; Tsar Samuil had his capital in Ohrid (“West Bulgarian” or “Macedonian Empire”; 969-1018). Against the Byzantine rule, which was re-established in 1018, the Macedonians rose up several times (1040/41, 1072/73).
The Second Bulgarian Empire annexed all of Macedonia around 1230. In 1204–24 the south formed the Latin kingdom of Thessaloniki, which was then replaced by the despotate of Epirus. The Serbian tsar Stephan IV. Dušan Uroš was able to advance his empire to Macedonia (1345; crowned tsar in Skopje in 1346). Since 1371 (Battle of the Maritza) and 1389 (Battle of the Blackbird Field; 1392 occupation of Skopje) Macedonia belonged to the Ottoman Empire (until 1912/13). Turks settled in the river plains; Sephardic Jews immigrated from Spain in the 16th century, in 1691 and 1740 numerous Serbs moved north to the protection of the Habsburg Empire and Albanians moved in from the west. Christian Macedonians also converted to Islam (Torbeși).
