In this study of Macedonian Slavs in the Greek Civil War, the
author examines how their participation in the conflict, and the attempts by
other groups to manipulate them, gave rise to modern issues that continue to
affect politics in the region today. The Macedonian Question has confounded
academics, politicians and the people of the Balkans since the nineteenth
century. While the countries have resolved the territorial component of the
Macedonian Question, the critical and confusing question surrounding the ethnic
and linguistic identity of the people of the region continues to be the source
of international debate. Part of the reason for this confusion is because the
history of the Macedonian Question is shrouded in nationalist polemics. The
role of the Macedonian Slavs involvement in the Greek Civil War is particularly
contentious and embedded in nationalist polemics, which has impacted academic
inquiry. This book argues that the preponderance of Macedonian Slavs within the
communist forces during the Greek Civil War influenced the actions of all the
major actors involved, and is a significant factor in shaping the modern
Macedonian national identity.
