ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Macedonians (Bulgarians)

Okay, so imagine you went to a big party and a lot of people were there. Some people might look alike, but they might be from different families or countries.

Macedonians and Bulgarians are kind of like that. They both come from the same region of Europe, called the Balkans, and they might look similar. In fact, some people might even say that Macedonians are actually just Bulgarians.

But that's not really true. Macedonians are their own group of people with their own language, history, and culture. They might be neighbors with the Bulgarians and share some things in common, but they are still different.

It's important to respect and learn about different cultures, even if they might seem similar to our own. Just because someone looks like us doesn't mean we are exactly the same. Remember, everyone is unique and has something special to offer.
