Macedonia
Alexander's ancient kingdom
Macedonia is a region in the Balkans with contested boundaries and identity.
Ancient Macedonia was the kingdom of Alexander the Great.
The name now applies to North Macedonia (a country formerly part of Yugoslavia), the Greek region of Macedonia, and a broader historical territory.
A macedoine or macedonia is a mixture of diced vegetables or fruits—from the region's ethnic diversity.
