Origin of Macedonians

[Apázlinemjó]

It's so sad, isn't it, how one people destroys another and simply because they were destroyed, nobody ever learned of their stand against the aggressors. The aggressors didn't want anybody to hear about their resistance. I wonder how many resistances are not recorded simply because of this...=(

I look forward to learning more about the Balkans, the people who lived there, the people who currently live there, and more!

I guess you didn't understand what I mean, I pointed out the "Romanized" problem. There were resistances and there are resistances when new people try to migrate into an already populated area, just check the minority problems which Europe has.

@ Imperator Invictus: Am I? I would be If I were the one who takes Gesta Hungarorum as a fact, which was written after the invasion by 300 years. We clearly don't know what happened there and then, because there are so few written sources about this matter. We have a few mystical names, exaggerated numbers and some unknown places. Do you believe that the Huns and the Magyars were relatives? And the Székelys came into the Carpathian Basin with the Huns? There many-many things which are highly questionable about Anonymus and his work, yet there are nationalist historians in both Hungary and Romania who take his words as facts, which is sad and I'm sad that there are even professors at our university who think this way.

Outch, that hurt. Anyway, I don’t want to start another Hungarian-Romanian war on this forum especially because I agree with all your Hungarian’s original statements:
1. Trianon suppressed the will of nations
2. the border between our countries is unjust
3. Romanian ethno genesis was south of the Danube

My motives:
1. Trianon suppressed the will of nations …because the people of Transylvania already gathered at Alba-Iulia in 1918 and proclaimed the union with the rest of Romanian provinces and that should have been enough so that treaty was unnecessary
2. the border between our countries is unjust … because Tisa river is a bit west
3. Romanian ethno genesis was south of the Danube … as well as north, because we are not just Latinized Dacians, we are Latinized Thracians who lived south of the Danube as well.

I hope you are not offended because I’ve presented the real facts in a humorous way.

This is a ****storm waiting to happen. The discussion has nothing to do with EB1 or 2 and the comments are already veering towards "Youtube Balkans Comments" category.

Take it to the Backroom, where it belongs.
