The region and battle places

In the 19th cent. the national revival in the Balkans began; national and religious antagonism flared, and conflict was heightened by the Ottoman policy of playing one group against the other. Meanwhile the Ottoman Empire lost control over the major sections of Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria, each of which claimed Macedonia on historical or ethnical grounds. In the Treaty of San Stefano (1878), which terminated the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78, Bulgaria was awarded the lion's share of Macedonia. However, the settlement was nullified by the European powers in the same year (see Congress of Berlin), and Macedonia was left under direct Ottoman control.

Greek Struggle for Macedonia

Greek Military Unit during conflicts in Giannitsa Lake

The rising, however, made plain the danger that Macedonia might be lost for ever, which stimulated a general moblisation on the part of the Greeks. So it came about, in 1904, that the armed Greek Struggle for Macedonia began, lasting until 1908. During this period, units made up of volunteers from the free Greek state, from Crete and from other areas poured into region of Macedonia in solidarity with the local "Macedonomachoi" (the name of the Greek Macedonian fighters). Together, they confronted the Bulgarian-backed Slav Macedonian forces in an attempt to assert hegemony over the central and southern parts of Macedonia.

Fighting along the Greek border in Macedonia, 1916

The political situation in Greece was confused. Officially Greece was neutral but the king Constantine I was pro-German while the prime minister, Venizelos was pro-French. At first Greece supported the French-British military support of Serbia, then they opposed it, finally they settled for officially opposing it but not fighting the superior Allied armies that landed in Thessaloníki. The Germans, trying to win Greek to their side in the war, were careful not to cross the Greek border in Macedonia.

Treaty of Lausanne

This allowed the Greek governments of the inter-war years to turn their attention to the country's domestic affairs and to the building of the modern Greek state.
