The Macedonian Struggle (Greek: Μακεδονικὸς Ἀγών, Macedonian Struggle) was a series of social, political, cultural and military conflicts between Greeks and Bulgarians in the region of Ottoman Macedonia between 1904 and 1908. Gradually the Greek bands gained the upper hand, but the conflict was ended by the Young Turks revolution in 1908.

Famous quotes containing the word struggle:
“This socialism will develop in all its phases until it reaches its own extremes and absurdities. Then once again a cry of denial will break from the titanic chest of the revolutionary minority and again a mortal struggle will begin, in which socialism will play the role of contemporary conservatism and will be overwhelmed in the subsequent revolution, as yet unknown to us.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
