Macedonia: Its Glorious Military History (1903)

Published on Apr 2, 2017

Sonjce Marceva

In every war for freedom which has marked the progress of emancipation in south-eastern Europe the Macedonians have taken part. Macedonians fought side by side with the Greeks during the long and bitter struggle for Grecian Independence. When the Serbians revolted, Macedonians swarmed through the mountain passes to render assistance; when the Bulgarian rebellion broke out, Macedonians hurried to stand side by side to fight, and, if necessary to die with men of an alien race having nothing in common with themselves but hatred of the Turkish yoke. With every revolt in European Turkey for the last three centuries the Macedonians have sympathised; they have sent men to aid every insurgency that gave the least promise of success. Greeks, Serbians, Bulgarians, and even Armenians are their debtors, but the Macedonians themselves, though aiding others to freedom, are still under the rule of the savage power which for nearly 1000 years has blighted the fairest portions of two continents.
