The Socialist Republic of Macedonia (Macedonian: Социјалистичка Република Македонија, ''Socijalistička Republika Makedonija'') was one of the six constituent countries of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and a socialist nation state of the Macedonians.〔(Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, 1974 - Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia ) 〕〔Устав Федеративне Народне Републике Југославије (1946), (sr.wikisource.org ), retrieved on October 19, 2007. 〕〔Устав Социјалистичке Федеративне Републике Југославије (1963), (sr.wikisource.org ), retrieved on October 19, 2007. 〕 After the transition of the political system to parliamentary democracy in 1990, the Republic changed its official name to Republic of Macedonia in 1991,〔(''On This Day'' - Macedonian Information Agency - MIA ), see: 1991 〕 and with the beginning of the breakup of Yugoslavia, it declared itself an independent country on September 8, 1991. ==History== The first Macedonian state was proclaimed under the name Democratic Macedonia〔''(Constitutional History of the Republic of Macedonia )'' by Dr. Cvetan Cvetkovski, Faculty of Law, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia〕 (Macedonian: Демократска Македонија, Demokratska Makedonija) at the First Plenary Session of the Anti-Fascist Assembly for the People's Liberation of Macedonia during the National Liberation War of Macedonia in World War II. It was set up on August 2, 1944 in the Bulgarian occupation zone in Yugoslavia.〔(Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Macedonia, Dimitar Bechev, Scarecrow Press, 2009, ISBN 0810855658,p. 240. )〕〔(The Three Yugoslavias: State-Building And Legitimation, 1918-2005, Sabrina P. Ramet, Indiana University Press, 2006, ISBN 0253346568, p. 139-140. )〕 This date is now celebrated by ethnic Macedonians as the day they were first allowed to freely state their nationality. It was chosen intentionally, as it was the date of the Ilinden Uprising against the Ottoman rule in 1903. The most important assembly decisions are the proclaiming Macedonia nation state of ethnic Macedonians and proclamation of Macedonian as the official language. The citizens of Macedonia, regardless of their ethnic affiliation, were guaranteed all civil rights, including right to their mother tongue and confession of faith. However, Vardar Macedonia was ''de facto'' liberated from the Germans in November 1944. In 1945, the state changed its official name to the People's Republic of Macedonia. It was formally incorporated as a constituent republic in the Yugoslav Federation in 1946. However, some people were against the federation and demanded greater independence from the federal authorities, leading to their prosecution. One of the notable victims of these purges was the first president, Metodija Andonov - Čento. More purges followed after the Tito-Stalin split. The state was formed on the territory of Vardar Macedonia, a part of the wider geographical region of Macedonia, which was divided between several countries in the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913. Some ethnic Macedonian politicians from the republic advocated the idea of United Macedonia, which would include Aegean Macedonia and Pirin Macedonia. The idea was somewhat supported by the federal Yugoslav authorities on some occasions, or repressed, depending on the regional and international political constelation. In 1963, the name of the state was changed to the Socialist Republic of Macedonia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Socialist Republic of Macedonia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
