"Balkan Federation" which should be included Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Greece, Albania and "Macedonia" as the reported planned Westerners since 1940 yet. Initiator of the idea that the aim was to keep the Soviet Union away from the Balkans, was Winston Churchill who "envisioned" a Federation which was independent statehood, under the authority of Great Britain!
The facts stated are shocking and show that the Western Allies had no problem to call Skopje "Macedonia" and also did not care too much about the national entity of Greece which too easily "included" in a "Federation" designed only to serve their own interests. Greece is not only threatened by the "communist danger" eventually.
All very interesting article as translated from the Russian site now.
Plans for the creation of the Balkan confederation of states, where they participated and Greece, and the Danubian basin, was preparing as early as 1943, Britain and other Western powers to stop the descent of the Soviet Union in the South.
In 2013, Russia celebrates the 70th anniversary of the victories of the Soviet Army at Kursk, Orel and in Smolensk. In commemoration of course the Red Army to the big win, as traditionally, and remember their role in the outcome of the Second World War (WWII) Allies of the USSR in the anti-Hitler coalition. The ministerial offices but there Machining designs and coordinates civil-military planning of the war, the Allies backroom movements cause intense discomfort. The Winston Churchill (Winston Churchill) also had said many times: "We must not allow the Soviets to go through the valley of the Danube and the Balkans."
"Every time he found the right opportunity, the British prime minister insisted on the need of the Western Allies' invasion of the USSR against the German Third Reich, through the Balkans," he told the American President Franklin Roosevelt (Franklin Roosevelt) to his son Elliot (Elliott ). "To all those who were present at these discussions, it was quite clear what he wants to achieve. He wants to hit like a wedge in Central Europe to keep the Red Army from Austria and Romania and, if possible, away from Hungary.
The Federation in Greece
In 1940, Churchill with the support of the USA, took the idea of the creation of the Balkan - Danubian Federation. A "block" the Balkan states and the Danube countries will directed against the Soviet Union. In the Federation, should be included Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Greece, Albania and "Macedonia". The Federation would be an independent state entity under the supervision of Great Britain.
One of the first steps in organizing the anti-Soviet bloc, was to create temporary "Federation of Poland - Czechoslovakia ', in November 1940 from exile governments in London. After the war, Britain was planning to include in the Federation, Romania, Hungary, maybe even Austria. The second step in the formation of the anti-Soviet bloc, was the political alliance pact, signed in January 1942 between the Governments of Greece and Yugoslavia abroad. At the same time in London, signed by Poland -tsechoslovakiki condition for the formation of another Federation, the Centre and the European Union.

Steps to World Domination
Immediately after the start of the Great Patriotic War (June 22, 1941 - "Operation Barbarossa"), the Soviet government turned to Churchill with the proposal to conduct offensive operations against Germany in Western Europe. The so-called "second" Front. The best way for the withdrawal by the divisions of the Wehrmacht in the Eastern Front would be a landing in France. The British could help with dropping paratroopers occupied by the Germans in Norway. Given the British dominance at sea and the geographical position of Norway, London had great chances for the successful achievement of the target.
The Englishmen in 1942 began to process the "Operation Jupiter» (Operation Jupiter), the invasion of Norway. The Tsortsi estimated to mislead both Hitler and Stalin. However, Stalin aptly, pointedly refused to discuss the project. Vissarionovits Joseph Stalin, unlike Hitler, he knew another company that was preparing. The campaign of the Anglo-American forces in northwest Africa (Algeria - Morocco), "Operation Torch» (Operation Torch). In Norway finally sent almost all major surface ships of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) and hundreds of heavy coastal artillery, but the allied forces invaded the northern coast of Africa. This move was a strategic mistake. Instead, it was the first step in a multistep Business: Enterprise for world domination of the USA and M. Britain.
After the conquest of North Africa, should follow the landing in Sicily and then the capitulation of Italy. This will create the perfect base for the invasion of the Balkans. This will also contribute to a palace coup in Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania.
The "trick" the Vatican and Turkey
Huge role in the plans for the creation of the Balkan - Danubian Federation, played the Vatican. Pope Pius XII was an ardent anti-communist and rosofovikos. He openly supported the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Churchill's idea to create Balkan - Danubian Federation, the Pius XII accepted it with enthusiasm. According to the Pontiff, the Catholic Church should not dominate the administration of this Confederation.
Also, the ruler of Hungary, Miklos Horthy (Miklos Horthy), regent with virtually unlimited power in the country, from the end of 1942, had begun negotiations with the UK and the USA for the country's exit from the war. On 30-31 Ιανουαρίου 1943 city of Adana in Turkey, Winston Churchill met with Turkish Prime Minister İnönü, who, according to the Hungarian ambassador in Ankara fiber Vernle echoed Churchill's idea to create a "Balkan Federation".

Deal of postwar Europe
Churchill, broadly speaking for the possible formation of three groups of countries after the war: the Baltic, Central Europe and Southern Europe (Figure Benes). Police operations in these areas, they will assume a giant Anglo-American aviation fleet. The last point also liked the Turks, because Churchill spoke operational - defending Allied Aviation if the Russian advance in the Balkans.
Until September 1943, the project is very close to making it. The occupation of the greater part of Italy, it could cause a shift toward the Western allies, the governments of Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania and, possibly, Yugoslavia. It is clear that the creation of a new "barrier", a peculiar «buffer zone» (buffer zone) in Central Europe, would prevent the advance of the Red Army into Western Europe. There was of course excluded the possibility of a dynamic reaction - "breaking" of the dam by military means, which in turn could lead to a conflict between the anti-Hitler coalition countries.
Why not finally proved the operational plan of the multistep Churchill and Pius XII? Because on September 8, 1943, we announced the unconditional surrender of Italy. King delivered the country to the Allies. At the same time, a battalion of German paratroopers captured the General Staff of the Italian High Command. Three days later, released the dictator Benito Mussolini, who until then was held prisoner. The German troops within a few days, captured without a fight, almost all of Italy.
Although left without any basis in the Apennine peninsula, as Churchill and Pius XII, did not abandon the idea of the Balkans - Danubian Federation. At this point, however, intervened powerful and victorious marches in Eastern Europe Red Army.
On August 31, 1944, Russian tanks entered Bucharest on September 16, in Sofia on October 20, in Belgrade, and on 13 February 1945 in Budapest. In August 1944, the Soviet Danube Flotilla, "rose" fighting the river, releasing the series in Belgrade, Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna. Of course, the final withdrawal was the Balkans - Danubian Federation, helped not only the Soviet tankistes and sailors, but also diplomats and spies.
conflict of Churches
Important was the role of the Russian Orthodox Church (POE) to the issue of creating a Balkan - Danubian Federation to the east of the USSR. With the outbreak of war, the Soviet government stopped the criticism of the Soviet press to the Roman Catholic Church. Moscow has a number of steps towards rapprochement with the Vatican. However, the efforts of the Holy See for a separate peace and the creation of the Balkan - Danubian Federation only managed was to change the position of the Kremlin.
The first "shot" at the Vatican, threw the leadership of PDE. At the beginning of 1944, "Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate" antikatholiko posted a text signature Patriarch Sergius. The article, entitled: "There is Vicar of Christ in the Church?" Read with due attention in the West and caused a stir in religious and political circles. In his article, the Patriarch Sergius, argued that the idea of Heads (primacy) the Church is unthinkable and partly blasphemous.
On February 6, 1945, the Council of Bishops of PDE strongly criticized the proposal of Pius XII for a "soft" peace with Germany. During the years 1944 and 1945, the Russian Orthodox Church held a very important talks with the leadership of the Orthodox Churches of the alleged Balkan countries - Danubian Federation, notably by Serbian, Romanian and Bulgarian Orthodox Churches. In late 1944, the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church, supported the creation of a "system Orthodox unity", expressing the close cooperation between the Local Orthodox Churches.
Immediately after the Yalta Conference (4-11 February 1945), which finally buried the idea of Balkan - Danubian Federation, the Moscow Patriarchate has released a statement of Patriarch Alexy, in which the head of PDE expressed "the greatest satisfaction and joy" for the outcome of the conference. "Entered -simeiose- a solid foundation for the future of peace in the world. This is just about where the Church prays constantly, ie "for peace in the world" seems to become reality in the near future. It will break down completely and be broken "... this hammer, which ektypousen mercilessly all the land ..." (Jer. 50.23), violent and aggressive German fascism. And not only by the strength of the brave soldiers of the Allied nations, but also the wisdom of the Great Stalin and the Heads of the Governments of our Allies. All this with certainty, stability and clarity drawn from the decisions of the Conference, which set itself the objective to "ensure such a state of things in which people in all countries of the world can live their whole lives without know no fear, no need.
