The Greek-Bulgarian controversies through the correspondences of the newspaper «Pharos tis Maledonias» Fall 1885

Abstract

The annexation of Eastern Rumelia and the raids of Bulgarian bandits in Macedonia during the fall of 1885 indicated the future of the Greek Macedonians. This paper examines the feelings of the latter, concerning the crisis, during the two-month period from the end of August to the beginning of November 1885. As the threat of the Bulgarian expansion had been fully realized and the Ottoman Empire was strongly pressed by Great Britain not to react violently, the Greek population itself attempted to tackle with the question by presenting the extension and strength of Greek education as an evidence of its predominance in Macedonia. The research is exclusively based on a local newspaper of Salonika.
