Country Details The historic country of Macedonia was once the Kingdom of Macedon, ruled by Alexander the Great (355-325 BC) Over many centuries it was exploited by the Romans, Byzantines, Bulgars and Serbs; finally conquered by the Ottoman Empire. As Communism was collapsing and the former Yugoslavia was dissolving, its long-desired independence from Yugoslavia (in 1991) was delayed for awhile by Greece; it objected to its use of the Hellenic name (and symbols), as Macedonia is also a large, historic part of northern Greece. Macedonia's first parliamentary election were held in 1994, and Greece lifted its trade blockade in 1995. The two countries agreed to normalize relations, but disagreement over the name continues. The Macedonia maps and information pages pages are currently being revised, but will be posted soon.
