6) How can appropriating Greece's history, be irredentist?

History is the means for laying claims on foreign lands. The
Macedonian argument was promoted by the 3rd Commintern (USSR) and
their allies in the region just prior to WWII, to create an
independent greater Macedonia for social experimentation. Bulgarians
have said that Alexander the Great was a Bulgarian while occupying
Macedonia (Greek) on behalf of the Germans in WWII.

Tito sent 5,000 Yugoslavs and "Slav-Macedonians" to Greece after
WWII to work with their allies in the region to annex Makedonia
(Greek) while we were too busy fighting a civil war. These were the
same people that now live in FYROM. 3 times in the recent past the
same propaganda has been used as justification by different
interests (Commintern, Bulgaria, (S)NOF-Yugoslavia) to invade (or
try to) Greece. Even today, just when the name and flag were been
adopted in independent FYROM, VMRO and Gligorof were talking about
reclaiming "their" lands in Greece and Bulgaria.
