Err clearly you have no idea about the macedonian/greek history. so like i said before dont try to "think" you know it when you dont 🙂 he was macedonian, end of
[/quote]thats from wikipedia. they also state that his city of birth is in modern day Greece. So...
[/quote]
He was born in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia. Now in modern day Greece.
[/quote]
Yes, thats true. But you see he wasnt born a few years ago he was born back in the days when it was macedonian before the greeks took it from us. Hence he was born in Pella,Macedonia.. and died knowing he was a macedonian. Not to mention all the greeks he killed and how he invaded greece. So point is, he is macedonian and not greek 😉
[/quote]
He clearly re-invented himself into a Greek though; Macedonian culture under his rule was pretty much a Greek imittion.
He regarded Macedonia as 'nouveau Greece' I guess. 8)
[/quote]
He re-invented himself more than once. By the time he died he was acting more Persian than anything, and his Macedonian soldiers didn't much like that either.
[/quote]
OK, he's Macedonian. I'll take your word for it. But it's not uncommon that different country's try to claim prominent people.
BTW your namesake Zlatan Ibrahimovic is claimed by the Bosnians even though he's born in Sweden and represents us at a national level.

My real names actually ZLATE but yeah i know what your talking about. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was born to a Bosnian Father and a Croatian Mother so he could'v choosen to play for either 1 of bosnia, croatia or sweden. Point is Alexander the great was born in Macedonia to Macedonian parents, so no1 else can claim him as their own as they would be living a lie. So its kind of abit different to the ibrahimovic situation
