Macedonian Bulgarians

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bulgarian refugee column from Macedonia (1914)

As Macedonian Bulgarians or Macedonian Bulgarians ( Bulgarian българи Македонски , even often Македонци / Makedonzi, German  Macedonians ), should be in Bulgaria in the strict sense, the Bulgarian refugees from the country of Macedonia (→ Vilayet Manastır and Salonica Vilayet ) in what is now northern Greece (→ Greek Macedonia ) and today's North Macedonia .

In a broader sense, the Bulgarian inhabitants of today's Bulgarian part of the Macedonian landscape also refer to themselves as Bulgarian Macedonians and form one of the linguistic groups in the country. In the historical context as Macedonian Bulgarians, the numerous members of the Bulgarian Exarchate and the Bulgarian Uniate Church in Macedonia were described in the early 20th century.

Several waves of refugees (after the Ilinden-Preobraschenie uprising (1903), after the Treaties of Sèvres and Neuilly-sur-Seine (1919), Lausanne (1922) and after the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) and the World Wars ) decimated their number in the non-Bulgarian areas of Macedonia. Serbian estimates for the year 1913 for the area of Vardar-Macedonia assume a number of 90,000, at that time around 10% of the total population. In the period after the First World War, over 100,000 were refugees in Bulgaria. Together with the Bulgarian refugees from Thrace (→ Thracian Bulgarians ) they make up a quarter to a third of the current Bulgarian population in the state of Bulgaria. Other refugees emigrated to the USA and Australia .
