Petition to rename North Macedonia to Paeonia


Petition to rename North Macedonia to Paeonia
The Issue
Why change the name of N. Macedonia to Paeonia?
- Paeonia is the historical area that encompasses modern day N. Macedonia. During Phillip the II's conquest in 385 BC the Paeonians fought fiercely against the Greek Macedonian King's invasion, and Paeonians existed all the way until 200 AD
- Ancient Macedonians never lived in the region of Paeonia, until very recently. The Macedonians of the region of Paeonia were assimilated Paeonians that were forced to learn Greek and behave like Greeks.
- It actually solves the controversy of N. Macedonian history and helps the people of the region to claim a common identity.
- The ancient Paeonian sites and artifacts are a great way to show how the history of the Paeonians lasts in the culture of the region
- Most Modern N. Macedonian dna is actually mostly of Paeonian origin.
I hope this evidence convinces you to actually help the modern Paeonian people get educated about their history as a people's group and sign the petition.
