Why Is Cyprus Independent? | The Greek and Turkish Cypriots

Why is the island of Cyprus not a part of Greece or Turkey?
For millennia, Cyprus was inhabited solely by Greek-speakers, but in the 16th century it was conquered by the Turkish Ottoman Empire, and over the next few hundred years, thousands of Turks migrated there. By the late 20th century, both Greece and Turkey had their own ideas about what ought to happen on Cyprus, with the Greeks seeking "Enosis" or union, and the Turks, "Taksim" meaning division. Ultimately though, Cyprus became an independent state free from both countries in 1960, but it also ended up dividing anyway 14 years later.

Hey there! Did you enjoy this video? Great! Why not check out this one, which takes place around the same time, on why Greece no longer has a king? Watch it here: https://youtu.be/gq_dQwnoZ98

Great Video. Its very hard saying and describing things the way they were and are, telling the necessary truths and using the correct words throughout and I think you did a hell of a job in doing so. All the best, keep up the excellent good work with all your videos!

Something worth mentioning, most of the so called "Turkish Cypriots" are islamized Greek Cypriots ( see DNA research done by Cyprus University and North Cyprus University). The Ottomans being islamists had this method of forcing people in occupied areas to either change their mother-language to Turkish or change their religion to Islam so that they would enjoy the benefits that come along with it including relief from taxes. This method was applied all over the occupied lands and not only in Cyprus.

Maybe you aren't aware of the real part UK and USA took in this situation. Of course Greeks and Turks started fighting against each other at a certain point, after British themselves ignited inexistant fights. As for the USA, they manipulated the Greek Junta in order to do a coup d'état at Makarios. Turkey of course wanted the island too, so the rest is history. P.S the british bases should be removed as in the Mauritius case

nice video, small correction though. Makarios did not participate in the 59' Zurich negotiations. The Greek side presented the agreement to him in London as a take-it-or-leave-it deal

Always wondered about this one... and still a hot topic as I can see from the comments. As always, love the way you condense history into edible nuggets.

you forgot to mention the most important thing,the tactic of britain at almost all of her colonies<>.With the treaty of Lausane Turkey gave up any rights on the island,but when britain saw that they cant control the desire of cypriot people to join Greece they put Turkey in the game to turn against greek population on the island. They did the same with India and Pakistan

Excellent presentation. I have to say this is one if not the only video that is not biased and mentioned the situation of the time, the cold war I mean and Britain's interests. I study the matter extensively. The modern history of this island will forever be unclear.
