Mακεδονικό Zήτημα (1870-1908) και "κοινή γνώμη" κατά την εξέγερση του Ίλιντεν : τα παραδείγματα των εφημερίδων "Αθήναι" και "Νέον Άστυ"

Greek

Μacedonian case (1870-1908) and the "public opinion" during the Ilinden' s uprising : the examples from the newspapers "Athinai" and "Neon Asti"

The national greek-bulgarian conflict for Macedonia starts in 1870. The signal for the turmoil of the successive national competitions offers the ecclesiastical independence of Bulgarians from the Patriarchate in 1870, a determinant fact for the configuration of national conscientiousness and the propulsion of expansionary targets in Macedonia and the treaty of San Stephen in 1878. The struggle for Macedonia between Greece and Bulgaria conducted in the first place until 1893 in context of a cultural "war", that takes place in the field of church and education.
The macedonian struggle takes a different form in 1893, the year when the bulgarian separatist organization, I.M.R.O. (Interior Macedonian Revolutionary Organization) founded. Since then it is observed a change in the direction of the formal bulgarian policy in the macedonian affair, which now inaugurates a more active intervention in Macedonia. From the beginning of 1895 the first bulgarian seditious gangs started to rush from Bulgaria in macedonian area, using terrorist ways against the population in order to approach them. The situation for the Creek people worsen after the greek defeat in greek-turkish war in 1897. Especially the slavic speakers are these who get the most serious blows, many of them after murders, forced financial levies and the threat of death accede in bulgarian side.
Until 1903 Bulgarians make great achievements in macedonian area. In July of the same year takes place the fail uprising of Ilinden, an uprising which imposed violently on a substantial part of the native population by Bulgarians, who intended to give Europe the impression that it is a major movement with the voluntary participation of the population of Macedonia. Their target was the provocation hard retaliations by Ottomans and by consequence the internationalization of macedonian affair and the sequential intervention of the european forces.
The macedonian case enters in a new period in 1904 with the conduction of Macedonian Struggle, a bloody guerrilla between the two nations, that lasted until 1908 and it was the answer to the previous uprising. "The agony for the future of Macedonia which seemed almost the same with the future of the whole country, the combination of the Balkan threat -if not encirclement – and the absence of international footings they were expected to lead in this thymic outbreak" with the hate in the foreground. The majority of Greeks agreed now in armed activation, a reduction of Macedonian Struggle and the word "Macedonia" in symbols of national range.
