>If Greece gained independence later, perhaps they would be. This assumes that there was an upwards trend for expansion in the Aromanian Identity, which was interrupted and then suppressed by the Greek State (or the Ottomans in European Turkey, as a reaction to losing Southern Greece). I dont think there is any evidence pointing towards that. In fact, given how once Thessaly was known as Greater Vlachia (Greater Wallachia / Vlach-land) and this name had faded into oblivion by the early 19th century AD suggests the opposite. >In World War II, there were attempts to create an Aromanian separatist state. This had little support amongst the Vlachs, who in any case were not as numerous as these images would suggest. It is noteworthy that these attempts were not internal ones, out of the Vlach Greeks against non-Vlach Greeks, but instead externally imposed by Italy. This is because Italy originally sought to completely annex most of Greece (intending to leave Macedonia and Thrace to Bulgaria), as part of their effort to prevent further spread of German influence in the Balkans, which they regarded as part of the Mediterranean sphere, so under their own agreed "jurisdiction" with the Germans, where they were supposed to only focus in Continental Europe. After their failure to conquer Greece by themselves in 1940-early 1941, and Germany's intervention, the Germans decided to just let the Greek State continue as a sovereign entity, albeit by removing the Pro-British Pro-Allied flank of the 4-August-Regime, and install a Pro-Axis government using the Pro-German faction within it, and thus reverting the Greco-Italian border in the Greco-Albanian frontier. Briefly they had attempted to hold onto and annex Epirus, and then just North Epirus, but these were also denied, so they chose to try to create the "Roman Legion" out of a minority of separatist Vlach Greeks, in order to establish the "Pindus Principality", which they aimed to render into a protectorate, through which they would spread Italian influence throughout Greece (despite how difficult that was, due to lack of Italians and Italophones in Greece, and their racism towards those there, as "decadent oriental Levantines").
