Principality of the Pindus

The Principality of the Pindus (Aromanian: Printsipat di la Pind; Greek: Πριγκιπάτο της Πίνδου; Italian: Principato del Pindo; Romanian: Principatul de Pind) is a name given to describe a self-declared autonomous Aromanian political entity in the territory of Greece during World War II. In 1941, the territory of Greece was occupied by Italy, Germany and Bulgaria during World War II. At that time, Alcibiades Diamandi, an Aromanian residing in Samarina who had earlier been the lead of a previous attempt to create an Aromanian political entity, was active with an organization that later literature named the Roman Legion. As part of the activity of the organization in the areas of mainly Thessaly (and Epirus, and West Macedonia), it was mentioned as an intention of Diamandi to create a semi-independent entity by the name "Principality of the Pindus" or "Pindus Canton" with himself as the "Prince".
