The Macedonian Struggle (Bulgarian: Македонска борба, romanized: Makedonska borba; Greek: Μακεδονικός Αγώνας, romanized: Makedonikós Agónas; Macedonian: Борба за Македонија, romanized: Borba za Makedonija; Serbian: Борба за Македонију, romanized: Borba za Makedoniju; Turkish: Makedonya Mücadelesi) was a series of social, political, cultural and military conflicts that were mainly fought between Greek and Bulgarian subjects who lived in Ottoman Macedonia between 1893 and 1912. The conflict was part of a wider guerilla war in which revolutionary organizations of Greeks, Bulgarians and Serbs all fought over Macedonia. Gradually the Greek and Bulgarian bands gained the upper hand. Though the conflict largely ceased by the Young Turk Revolution, it continued as a low intensity insurgency until the Balkan Wars.
