Why Did North Macedonia Change Its Name?

Why Did North Macedonia Change Its Name?
In 2019, the Republic of Macedonia officially changed its name to the Republic of North Macedonia. The country would be called North Macedonia for short, and the national language would continue to be referred to as Macedonian. The citizens of the country would also continue to be called Macedonians, not North Macedonians.
So, why did North Macedonia change its name, if they were to be referred to as the same?
For that, we will have to go many, many years back in the past.
The Macedonian region is enormous, but this region has shifted its boundaries so frequently that it is almost confusing to keep track. The landlocked country in the heart of the Balkans is bordered by Kosovo and Serbia to the north, Bulgaria in the east, Greece in the south; and Albania in the west.
The country has the highest number of mountains and mountain peaks in the world, each with a height of more than 2000 meters above sea level. Home to around two million people, North Macedonia is one of the poorest countries in Europe with an average annual salary of $778. 17% of the population is unemployed. It can meet its basic food needs, but has to depend on outside sources for all its oil, gas, machinery and parts.

    The Idiom that these fellows speak originates from Slavic invaders that invaded parts of Macedonia 800+ years after Alexander. Are they applying the name "Macedonians" only to people that spoke an invasive slavic Idiom? There were still people in Macedonia that spoke a language directly descended from the language Alexander spread throughout his empire

    For your information we are the same Macedonian,but Germany made us as"Slavic" in 19 century and they change Aleksandar Macedonian to Alexander the Great,Second Macedonian kingdom to Bizantium who took the name from the place in Istanbul and Macedonian alphabet to Cirilic...In Homer poem we found over 1500 wards what we use even today.Bulgarian cam fro Turkestan ,river Volga with Can Asparuh.They spoke like Turkish language.Open on KZread son wher is saying Tatar,Volga,Bulgaria ,we do not understend macedonian even they in Bulgaria,because 95% of Bulagia are Macedonian who came 1924-26 from Greece and most of them are JUDA.Time is coming for the trouth of Macedonian history and Macedonian.You can see even what Churchil said that Macedonian are the first in Europe.Every one of West country knows that we are Macedonian from anchient time to today,but they can not say ,because 1853 after they created newcomposed country Greece they made "Geman-Nordic Institute" and they gave whol our history to our neibours .SHAME OF THEM!!!
