Macedonia is one of the oldest country in the world! It has been threw some ruff times! Macedonia was divided in 1913 parts of land was givien to countries such as Greece,Bulgaria, Albania and todays Macedonia when under Yugoslavia! Macedonians in Greek part go hit the hardest they had no human rights!! Names of Cites,villages,lakes and rivers were changed! Macedonians were not allowed to speak Macedonian because they would get beaten!! In the early 90's Yugoslavia was divided and Macedonia is back to its own country but Greece, Bulgaria and Albania still claim the land that was divided to them! If you want information on the Republic Of Macedonia here are some websites:

The Republic of Macedonia, was part of Yugoslavia, before 1991. There was also the Kingdom of Macedonia, in ancient times--Alexander the Great was from there.
Macedonia is also the name of a province in MODERN Greece. The first part of my answer pertains to what you asked.

Yes, I have.
The Republic of Macedonia occupies the western half of the ancient Kingdom of Macedonia.
The part of the southern Balkan Peninsula traditionally known as Macedonia is bounded to the south by th Aegean Sea and the Aliakmon River; to the west by Lakes Prespa and Ohrid, the watershed west of the Crni Drim River, and the Shar Mountains; and to the north by the mountains of the Skopska Crna Gora and the watershed between the Morava and Vardar basins. The Pirin Mountains mark its eastern edge. Since 1913 this geographic and historical region has been divided between Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria, and only some 40 percent of its area is occupied by the independent state, MACEDONIA.
