History of the Macedonians (ethnic group)

The history of Macedonians has been shaped by population shifts and political developments in the Balkans, especially within the region of Macedonia. The ideas of separate Macedonian identity grew in significance after the World War I, both in Vardar Macedonia and among the left-leaning diaspora in Bulgaria, and were endorsed by the Comintern in 1934. During the World War II, these ideas were supported by the Macedonian Partisans, but the decisive point in the ethnogenesis of this South Slavic people was the creation of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia as a new state within the framework of Yugoslavia.
