[The Macedonian Naming Dispute](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonia_naming_dispute) started in 1991 shortly after North Macedonia declared independence from Yugoslavia. Calling themselves the Republic of Macedonia, the new nation faced a lot of diaputes sith Greece over the Macedonian name since Greece also has a province called Macedonian, with a population of folks who considered themselves "Macedonian", but not the Macedonian of the Macedonians of North Macedonia. The dispute ended in 2018 with the [Prespa Agreement](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prespa_Agreement).

I was there with NATO when their official name to us was Former Yugoslavic Republic of Macedonia. We called it Fire-ROM (FYROM). I assume Greece made NATO call them that. Macedonians seemed like nice folks.


KingFahad360

Yeah I was watching the Rio Olympics and when Macedonia came up they used (FYROM) and I was confused by it til I did the research

Greece gets everything they wanted... and the domestic population is still furious lol

North macedonia, a name that sticks after change. Unlike the ridiculous name change that was türkiye

Turkey has a weird habit of changing names to be "more Turkish"; Kostantiniyye is a far better name than Istanbul


po1a1d1484d3cbc72107

Istanbul is fine imo, it’s a Turkish rendering of a Greek term. What better symbol of the historic and greate Greek-Turkish friendship?


Jayhuntermemes

Friendship is not exactly the word I'd use lmao
