In the late 19th and early 20th century the international community generally viewed the Macedonian Slavs as a regional variety of Bulgarians. At the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, however, the Allies approved Serbian control of Vardar Macedonia, claiming that the Macedonian Slavs were Southern Serbs. After the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1918), the territory of what is today North Macedonia, Kosovo, southwestern and southeastern Serbia was administratively organized into South Serbia. Although reorganized in 1922, the term continued to be used for the new administrative divisions, the Vardar Banovina and Zeta Banovina.
