The Macedonian Question

The name dispute between Athens and Skopje.

It was in 1947 that the Truman Doctrine/Marshal Plan was adopted, according to which support would be offered to Greece by the USA to defeat the Communist movement that was spreading in the Greek peninsula. The Truman Administration, by means of the above mentioned Doctrine and the help of the American monetary aid, along with the sacrifices of the Greek people, the blood of hundreds of thousands of Greek dead and wounded, saved Greek Macedonia from the Communist threat.

Here is an interesting read from the Public Papers of President Harry S. Truman:
