The colonization of the Aegean part of Macedonia (1913 – 1928) – a state and internationally stimulated immigrant-emigrant process. In parallel with the expulsion of the Macedonian population after the strength of the Neva Agreement (1919) and the Lasan Peace Accord (1923), the Greek state carried out colonization of the Aegean part of Macedonia to change the ethnic composition of the population. The colonization was carried out with a population of old Greece (internal colonization) and Greek and Negro Christian populations came from other countries (external colonization). With the internal colonization in the Aegean part of Macedonia from 1913 to 1928. There were colonized 53,056 Greeks, and 565,143 souls (Greeks, Karamani, Armenians and members of various Caucasian peoples) were colonized. During that period, 618,199 people were colonized, different in their origin, language and cultural traditions. Greek colonization had severe ethnojylismal consequences for the Macedonian people. With the great Greek-Christian colonization, the Macedonians lost their ethnic historical status – from the people (most of which) became a minority in their native country, and the Macedonian language was reduced to the language of a minority. And with all those violent changes in the ethnic history of southern Macedonia by the new Greek-magnetic ethnic assimilation system, the Macedonian population gave resistance and survived as a national minority of its country.
