Macedonian Question(政治歷史的欺騙):The so-called "Macedonian Question", is in fact a great political andhistorical fraud that was deliberately fabricated by the Communists in 1944 in order to wrest Greek Macedonia from Greece and absorb it into the Communist bloc, thus breaking up the West's eastern flank and gaining control of the north Aegean seacoast.
