This short outline cannot hope to indicate the richness of the material that Rothschild presents, not only on Bulgarian communism, but on the Macedonian nationalists, the Peasant Union, the Socialists, the Balkan Socialist Federation and its Communist successor, and the Comintern as well.
In plunging into what is virtually a history of Bulgarian domestic politics during the critical years 1918-1925, Rothschild has followed a peculiar scheme of organization that singles out certain political groups (the Communists, the Peasant Unionists, and the various irredentist organizations -- the Macedonians in particular) and describes them consecutively...

Thus the whole endless Macedonian question would finally be settled."

Quoted from H. G. Alsberg, "Union in the Balkans", Nation, CIX (Oct. 4, 1919), 463-64

[edit] Socialists

[edit] Article name

Should this be at Balkan Federation or Balkan Federation movement. Might be more suited, considering the numerous different names... - FrancisTyers · 22:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the present title is highly unsatisfying; both the titles you propose seem good to me.--Aldux 23:29, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree, as well. —Nightstallion (?) 22:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Why does it say Macedonia seperately, when it already notes Greece, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria? --HolyRomanEmperor 20:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Aye, you have a point there... I don't know, either. Remove it? —Nightstallion (?) 22:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
