Every battle of Alexander the Great on Wikipedia is labeled "Macedonian victory" instead of "Greek victory". Alexander's other Greek allies are also differentiated from Macedon under belligerents and either given no flag or the Macedonian flag. In some later battles other Greeks are even listed along with Alexander's Persian or Indian allies as if they are in the same category.

This is a gender of modern "North Macedonia", who have no relationship with ancient Macedon to portray the ancient Macedonians and ancient Greeks as two separate peoples. No real historian take "North Macedonian" history seriously. Macedonians spoke Greek, Macedonians saw themselves as Greek, Macedonians practiced Greek culture, Macedonian worshiped Greek gods, Alexander invaded Persia to liberate Greeks, MACEDONIA WAS GREEK.

It's called a Macedonian victory because Alexander and his staff were all Macedonians, other Greeks weren't taking part in it, they were being subjugated by the Macedonians. This doesn't have to relate to modern countries you sperg fag.
If you really want to see sjwpedia lies and bullshit just go and see their views on sexuality and other sensitive subjects
Macedonians were not greeks but they also ceased to exist 2000 years ago
Back then greek as a national identity didn't even existed, you were athenian, spartan, cretan, corinthian, siracusian, tessalian, etc.
Ameribrutes reach higher levels of retardation with every thread they made.
Wasn't the actual titular ownership of greece from Alexander through to the romans called Makedon? Even during the roman empire for a time as I recall greece was divided between Makedon and Epirus with their client states.
If you knew basic history you would know that the kings of Macedon were all from the town of Argos in the Pelloponese.
So greece still didn't really exist since there were a lot of client states. All greeks back then would likely have referred to themselves by their city state identity rather than some word used to describe the entire region
Yes they were, Dorian invaders but Greeks still.
Greek identity and civilization pre-dates the Greek nation.
Which was part of the Kingdom of Macedon, your point?
Greeks are the foundation of modern nations, the first step in unifying peoples by their language and history, Roma then created the state for the people and then the French created nationalism, and first modern state was born.
>Greeks are the foundation of modern nations, the first step in unifying peoples by their language and history,
You're acting like this hasn't been a thing since the unification of lower and upper Egypt
The Egyptian question is... debatable.
Heredotus mentioned "greece" multiple times therefore it's highly possible that ancient greeks had that "national" idea even though they lived in city states
Didn't Herodotus mention it to refer to the region and not necessarily as some kind of ethnic identity?
If the ancient Greeks had no common ethnic identity they wouldn't have called non-Greeks barbarians.
Didn't they also call the Macedonians barbarians for a long time?
Macedonians were barbarians in most eyes because they were on the frontier and genetically they were Dorian invaders but then again, so were Spartans.
No, some Greeks compared Macedonians with barbarians because Macedon sided with Persia in the Persian Wars. But the point was to insinuate Macedonians were traitors, which means they still recognized Macedonians were really Greeks (you can't "betray" Greek identity if you're not a Greek).
Wrong and retarded. See Other Greeks knew that Macedonians were not actually barbarians, even when they were politically insulting Macedonians they tended to use "half-barbarian". They knew Macedonians were Greek, their insults are just what happened when any Greek state dominated the others. Similar insults were thrown around during the Athenian, Spartan, and Theban hegemonies. Thebans moreso because they sided with Persia once.
