What is the controversy between Greece and North Macedonia? Why do they both claim Alexander the Great as part of their culture, and deny the patrimony of Ancient Macedonia to one another? This video is intended to explain to my audience NOT from the Balkans why this feud persists, and why so many crazy comments appeared on the Ancient Macedonian language video (this one:    • Was Macedonian a Greek Dialect? 🇬🇷   ).

NOTA BENE: If you’re new to this topic, I recommend reseaching more on your own, since my presentation here is rather superficial. In this video I attempted to show three points of view: the Greek perspective, the North Macedonian perspective, and the perspective of an outsider — outsiders like me see these controversies as pretty silly, and I pointed to my own supercilious reaction in this video, to make a point that the Macedonia naming dispute is very important to a lot of people. I encourage you to look into the facts and the deeds around the dispute before coming to your own conclusion.
