My grandfather was at Turkish parachute battalion, he said one thing before he passed away last year, which was already known; There are no victors at wars but traumatized survivors, dead bodies, and fat politicians.
vural bozyurt What did I say that was disrespectful? I’m saying he was lucky to have survived, which is true. I’m not sure if English is your first language because you don’t understand what I’m saying. In the English language what I said is perfectly respectful and a normal thing to say. Look if you want to call me uneducated learn English first. And actually understand what I meant before you jump to incorrect conclusions. It makes you look quite uneducated.

Conflict create by British : 1. China and Hong Kong 2. Pakistan and india war for kashmir 3. Palestine and Israel 4. Kurdish 5. Greece and Turkey over Cyprus
British imperialism is also responsible for the partition of Ireland, and the recent decision to leave the EU without any consideration for the people of Northern Ireland now threatens to reignite the Troubles. In this instance, the British legacy is twofold.
It was the Prince or whatever of Kashmir that decided to join India Britain didn't do anything and Hong Kong and China is a stupid argument since Britain basically stopped the Chinese imposing their communist ideals onto the people of Hong Kong.

@@cezarstefanseghjucan the official excuse was to save and protect the Turkish minority from the Greek right wing nationalists who were commiting attrocities against them. The true reason was to prevent the islands unification with Greece
@@vonzuchter I was stationed in Cyprus before, during and after this event. What this 'documentary' doesn't detail is the fact that the Greeks were buoyant after getting rid of Makarios and thought that unification with Greece was a done deal. Consequently they DID start committing atrocities against the Turkish people, particularly in the south of the island where they destroyed houses, restaurants and other businesses belonging to Turks. There were also incidents of Turkish civilians being shot and even being dragged behind cars by Greek civilians. All this was happening long before the Turkish reinforcements arrived.
Wow great work, well done. My dad was in the Turkish Air Force at that time, operating one of the F-100 aircrafts for air to ground operations around Nicosia. My family is from Cyprus, and when I visited there I had a change to meet them also. They told me that they were living in peace with the Greek people before all those political manipulations took place. They also told me the times before the Turkish operation was very hard and brutal for them. Their village was occupied by Greek army and Eoka and many slaughters took place in front of their eyes. I don't mean that we did not do anything wrong and of course it is very sad for both sides. But when I witnessed what my relatives and Turkish cypriots have faced with, I became quite sure that Turkey was right to attack. Even though I used to be suspicious about the invasion and don't like militarism at all.

Not all of Kocatepe's crew sunk. Some of them were rescued by other ships. Including her captain Güven Erkaya who had been the commander of the Turkish navy in the late 1990s.
@@PatrasPhantom no they didn't fake radios. There was a greek convoy which really goes to cyprus to supply EOKA forces. But around of that convoy, Turkeys Battleship Kocatepe was in patrol mission. And Turkish Jets strike to Kocatepe. Kocatepe's warned Turkish Jets with radios and said that they are Turkish. But Turkish Jets thought that was fake from greeks to not to target the ship. And Turkish Jets Keep targetting to Kocatepe then they sunk the Kocatepe.
Kocatepe was part of a NATO task force weeks before this happened. Some of us American sailors met with our counterparts from the Kocatepe while in Toulon and we were invited aboard . It was sad to hear of her sinking and loss of life.
Kashmir wasn't because of the British per-say. Kashmir was an independent kingdom before it was forcefully invaded by Pakistani leading the king to ask for Indian support. India was only going to support Kashmir militarily if it joined the Indian Union. We can blame Britain for the partition but not the Kashmir issue.

@SOME GUY AND... WHATEVER do you honestly believe they were at peace before the British came? History is just one empire conquering another, there is never true peace. Just look at India, before the British was there, there was the mughal empire trying to conquer the land and dozens of other small kingdoms fighting each other, do you think that is peace? If anything Britain made peace by uniting all the land and creating fair and equal laws that prevent conflict.

@UNIVERSAL SPACE EXPEDITIONER Last time Greeks claimed that they own the island was 1974 and they ended up losing the half of the island. It's goddamned 2019 now. Do you want us to take the other half too? Lol.
UK still has several military bases on the island which many want rid of, but with a split and weak government I don’t see those bases being left any time soon. The bases in question provide secure Sigint and air bases to the Med and Middle East. Unfortunately we still have those like our “Cyprus is Greek” chap spouting rubbish that doesn’t make sense which is underlined after watching this video. Whilst there are still people of the same mindset in the south of the island there will never be peace there, no matter how hard people like Kofi Annan try to persuade them to vote for peace. Meanwhile the British forces remain in their bases on the island. Guarantors if ‘Peace’....
What is strange about it! Turks do not speak Greek, Greeks cannot speak good enough Turkish to discuss such a complicated issue. Who won the War??? This video is all about it. Turks finally stoped the war siplited the island into two separate part and given half of the ısland to Greeks (Rum= Roman Christians of Ottoman empire).

States are created by war, none of the powerful States of our time would exist without it. I don't say it's a good thing but it's a fact and if you live in a powerful and rich State, chances are that you are able to enjoy your way of life thanks to wars won by your country in the past decades or centuries. There are always a few exceptions of course like in the case of city-States, but it is true for the majority of modern States.

Of course turks did not land for no reason, but invasion is never an excuse for more distraction. Turkey had the superior power to reduce conflict and promote peace but instead preferred to intervene , cause more pain and result to an ongoing conflict between greeks and turks in Cyprus.

Zaob Min oh please..... you have the 8th most powerful army in the world, and Greece isn’t even close to that. I think turkey is considered a superpower (at least nowadays). Well, indeed you are in quite a weird situation between Russia and USA which are the two most powerful nations, however this still doesn’t mean you aren’t a superpower. Plus, you also have countries like Sudan, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania (both in balkans), Pakistan, and believe it or not Britain on your side. They are some of turkey’s closest allies.
As my grandmother used to say: "My son, in our time there were no Greeks nor Turkish in Cyprus only christians and muslims" then she would proceed to tell me a story that occured in her village, about a christian mother that had a child and was not able to produce milk for it, so she gave it to a muslim woman, that also had given birth to a child around the same time, to feed the child for her.
Normally, there should have been zero Turks on the island. It was Greek for more than 3000 years. Why did Turkey allow their population to be left defenseless, aboard, in a territory that didn't offer them much. It is like I barge into your home one day and from the next day onward, we have to share the house and I demand that I have the same rights in that house like you do. How is this normal?

@@boardelia greek just could not dare a war with turkey because cyprus is much more far away from greece if you compare with turkey. they could not send marines because of turkish aircraft, and they can not send their aircraft with marines because technology level of that days makes it impossible in such distance. and also, turkey were much more ready to a war with greece so that would be a lost war and lost cyprus for greece for sure and greece goverment was well aware of this. thats why they did not intended this. big numbers of turkish military were waiting for order to attack in thrace and they had their attacking plans and greek defensive plans as documents
@@giorgosx5838 yea and those marines couldnt even get close to the island because they were threated from turkish air force, they just went back from half way lol
The names of the both operations are really cool. Aphrodite; you most probably know, the Goddess of Beauty, was believed to be born out of the waves of coasts in Cyprus. Atilla on the other hand was the man, as everybody knows, who brought Romans to their knees. Considering Greeks are often considered as the descendants of the Eastern Romans, very cool analogies on both sides.

Great video but in my opinion you should have written unit names/numbers on the map next to or below the soldier figures representing them. Listening to unit names/numbers can be confusing when you list them verbally like you did ^^

Does "peasants" held the industrial part of the country, had their own militias which had more than "rusty rifles", were supported by almost all the navy and air force (they could have blocked the african troops in Morocco but were incompetent), integrated thousands of international volunters to their army ranks (some of them veterans from WWI), were supported massively by the Soviet Union, Mexico, etc. Saying both sides werent equally matched is at best debatable.
@@bluehelmi1672 The issue is that the Spanish Air Force in 1936 consisted of about 13 biplanes of varying levels of outdatedness. Hence why the German air lift succeeded. The industry held by the Republic in 1936 is not suited to production of arms, and the Republic relied heavily on an overcharging international market, indeed this is what spells the death of the republic throughtout the war. See Howson's book Arms for Spain for more detail, but arms dealers would often charge upwards of 200% market price for very outdated rifles. (The 1st British volunteers in Spain went into action at Lopera armed with m1888 Manlicher rifles without the necessary en bloc clips meaning they were effectivley single shot weapons.)

So by the end of 1936 we have a relatively inefficent industry, supported by an indifferent ally, and an ally across the ocean, unable to help due to Nationalist dominance of the sea (thanks to the sailor's committees being very coy in the running of their ships and the admirals desrting to the nationalists) whose military, frankly, isn't and is only effective in urban warfare. vs a highly trained army, with a strong political grip on their zone of control, backed by two allies who were in it up to the hilt in exchange for economic concessions. (the Soviets never sent anymore than advisors the CTV numbered 70,000 by war's end) So yeah it is an unbalanced fight. Not unwinnable given some more favourable circumstances for the Republic or more overt Soviet support, or the involvement of France and Britain. (or even just France) But these things were unlikely for a myriad of reasons.

@KONSTANTIN XXX well actually, during the Ottoman Empire and early days of the republic before the population exchange, Greeks and Turks lived a friendly life. In fact, over time Turkic people who came to Anatolia mixed so much with the Greek (as well as middle easterners, native Anatolians, Caucasians, and other Europeans) that genetically and culturally the two nations are similar in many ways. Conflict aroused with the manipulation of big states who benefited from conflict, there's no reason for the two nations to be enemies
@KONSTANTIN XXX 1453 is just a date when Constantinople changed administration. 1913 well is just a regular year i guess. Greeks and Turks lived together wat before 1453 and way after 1913. Two tiny nations hating each other and throwing tiny military tantrums is nothing good for both parties.

I couldn't believe it when I read Turkish history. 1000s of absolute battle wins. The best war industry, education, teaching, scientist, artist, writer shaped the world in time.
Having lived for some years in Greece let me offer you some extra historical information about this period. The millitary junta running Greece was very unpopular and a year prior they had attacked young students in Athens protesting against their regime the 1973 anti-junta rally in the university of Athens had several dead and wounded. Makarios on the other hand refused to be the puppet of the curnals running the junta so the Enosis was a pretext to overthrow him and have a loyal guy there. So the whole thing pretty much started because the military coup in Greece was on it's last legs and tried desperately to survive The sad part i experienced being in both Greece and Turkey was that the average people never were pro-war, but they still allow goverments and great powers to play them like dolls. Greece always was influenced by UK and USA and Turkey by USA and lately Russia. Grow up and realise that the days of Byzantium and Ottoman are behind us and try live a normal life the superpowers of the world are no longer Turkey and Greece.
as a Greek I couldn't agree more. Sad thing being under a regime that is hateful towards anyone but themselves. History tells us that when a regime is on the brink of collapse they always start a war. And that's what happened with Cyprus
Only resolution with the islands would be a joint alowence for both populations imho. There should be a non militarized zone and a no fly zone for military aircrafts to prevent future clashes at it happens frequently. Turkish air force is an agressor on that demand while greek air force also makes agressive flights time to time. The real problem is the governments, while greeks are mild the Turkish government today is shifting towards nationalism and islamism day by day. Which is the opposite of 1974. The real red line with the islands is the territorial waters, there has to be a joint economical zone for that which needs to be accapted by both nations, only non stop passage allowed for military and a free movement for the individuals and other vessels. All of this might prevent the problems about who has the land and water. It can be, should be and will be resolved like this eventually. It has to be since greeks and Turks who lives in the coasts are not very different. Their lifestyles and cultures are pretty much identical. They just need a common ground guarenteed by their own governments to be happy and to stay out of all this nationalist bullshits.
as a turkish i want to underline about "importance of education". Basically both sides are poor countries and they have no vision for future. Both sides only proud from past, not even TODAY. I wish for peaceful aegea, love from izmir.
I was there as an 8 year old child in Famagusta. They were terrible times in a beautiful island I still consider home. I hope that one day, we can all return and live in peace

EOKA was an guerrilla organization formed at 1955 that fought a campaign for the end of British rule over Cyprus. EOKA B was formed on 1971 and had a way more nationalist goals in mind. It was in fact considered a terrorist organization by RC.
@@hwhshhsjsjahzjsnns6719 EOKA B did that. Two completely different organizations. And trust me many Greeks think "than god for EOKA B that way we got rid of our junta". EOKA fought for the independence of cyprus 10 to 20 years before 74.
@@mp44christos "instigated by both sides." yeah sure buddy here are some fact that states otherwise: -"The spark that ignited the explosion of violence happened at 02:30hrs on the 21st December when Greek Cypriot 'special constables' shot dead two Turkish Cypriots who refused to show their identity cards." -"After the shooting,crowds of turkish cypriots gathered in the northern part of Nicosia,often led by the Turkish Resistance Organisation(TMT).On 22 December,the funerals of the victims were held without incident.However,shooting broke out on the evening of December 22.Cars full of armed Greek Cypriots roamed through the streets of Nicosia and fired indiscriminately and Turkish Cypriots fired at patrolling cars." -Robert Stephens in 'Cyprus - A place of Arms' describes the fighting as follows; "Greek Cypriot security forces, police and armed irregulars, mostly ex-EOKA, launched a massive counter-attack on the Turkish Cypriot positions in Nicosia." and this is the exact reason Turkey invaded the island in 1974 to prevent same shit happening again. I'm not saying turks were all innocent in this scenario because both communities has produced its own melodramatic accounts of the December 1963 fighting but i think it is quite easy to see the discrimination and the violence,hatred against turkish cypriots by both the goverment and the majority of the people(greek cypriots).
Isn't it strange that the international community recognizes the Republic of Northern Ireland as a part of the UK but not the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The EU states that there should not be a divided island in the EU thus it will not recognize the TRNC, but they make an exception for Northern Ireland. European double standard at its finest!

From Cyprus to Ireland, and from Palestine to Sri Lanka, the British Empire left a legacy of poisonous hatred and ethnic conflict. Why? While all colonial empires were bad, the British had an especially harmful arrangement for dealing with subject peoples, namely, dealing in "communal" not "individual" rights. Of course, this also served their "divide and rule" tactics (used by all imperial systems in history) but it was not only that, for you can see its harmful consequences in Britain itself today ("parallel societies", "Londonistan" etc.) Compare this with the French colonial practices, which, in my view, were far more progressive and beneficial. Of course the French were also racist and exploitative, and committed horrible atrocities in their colonies (Algeria, Vietnam etc.) But French ideology and nation-building were (and remain) Universalist and Republican. Thus, in former French colonies, there developed a progressive and unifying anti-colonial nationalism, that helped form nations, not "communities" that were at each other's throat....
@lvan Big Nob I wouldn't say that. Morocco and Vietnam are relatively successful states, for example. But this isn't my point. All colonial empires were bad, racist and exploitative but the British practice of dealing with people in a "communal" basis meant that all ethno-cultural and religious differences were made a million times worse, and you can see the results the world over, and even in Britain itself. The most tragic example is, of course, the Indian Subcontinent.
@lvan Big Nob I don't hate the British, or the French, or the Americans, or the Chinese. And I'm not a "silly Arab". But you are a sorry little racist. There is no point in having a discussion, therefore.
@ I am very aware of the hatred between these two peoples. My point was about the nature of British statecraft and its harmful consequences, including in Britain itself today (when people accuse the British, they usually speak of the "divide and rule" tactics, which, if you read carefully my original comment, I do not). Namely, the main problem was dealing in "communal", not "individual rights". You might agree or disagree with that, but don't say that I hate the British. I've been to Britain and I liked many things there, and especially the people. A lot. But that has nothing to do with historical assessments or the practice of statecraft.
@ marcus Hayneiz Well, I don't disagree with most of what you say here. You probably didn't read my original comment carefully, and where exactly the British made things worse..
@ You have a completely Eurocentric perspective. I find it astonishing that in the 21st century someone would defend colonialism. Everyone should be proud of his/her culture, but not defend aggressive expansion and violence. And to repeat, I'm not saying that the French were better people or had nicer motives than the British, just that their way of governing helped form modern nation-states. There are other areas where the British proved to be much more progressive, women's rights for example.
i was there in all of that conflict as a un soldier we rescued many people when the port of limassol fell to the greek cypriot forces. many women and children were imprisoned in a football stadium, and at great risk to our selves a few of us negotiated with the greek cypriots who were pretty high and gun happy after their victory there but we got many civilians out, we also managed to convoy many mixed nationals from areas under direct fire to safety;at various times, delicate times,
@@williamdavis9562 He never mentioned the burning of entire villages or slaughtering of inhabitants, and the corralling of civilians into football stadiums was as he said for 'imprisonment' not extermination. Why engage a force militarily when it can be achieved diplomatically.
@@williamdavis9562 Atrocities against Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots did occur, but what I meant is that in the situation David Gaston mentioned, there were no instances of the violence you are implying and he proves in his encounter that diplomacy is just as effective as force in those occurrences.
@Roygbiv 1) There we no instances of violence in the situation described by David Gaston, maybe you should read my comment again. 2) Ethnic cleansing and genocide are the same thing, both are mass murders based on ethnic prejudice. 3) Last I recall I wasn't even born anytime near the War in Cyprus so I am pretty sure I didn't try to commit an ethnic cleansing. 4) And lastly, the ethnic killings were mutual, the argument that it was 'self-defence' is a commonly used arguments by Turks, especially in the case of the Armenian genocide. So are you telling me that the massacres at Asha, Prastio, Eptakomi and Angolemi, where Turkish Cypriot militia men and Turkish soldiers tied up civilians (including women and children), shot them and dumped their bodies in mass graves were in self defence. If you want any of the links to the evidence of these massacres, the European Parliament has quite a few, so just dm me.
@Roygbiv Once again whats with all the 'you'. No I did not start the war in Cyprus, no I am not at fault and no, I wasn't trying to put an end to Turkish existence anywhere lmao. Lets look at the facts here, seeing as I've already proven you wrong I may as well continue to do so. Ethnic killings between the two sides did happen before war broke out but on a relatively minor scale. EOKA led a coup which removed the Government and took over, Turkey then invaded, war then broke out. Arguments for who started would therefore bounce between different sides, Turks arguing Greeks and vice versa. Escalation of the war was caused by Turkey however, seeing as after the first invasion, EOKA fell and the old Government came back in and therefore wanted peace again, but Turkey pressed on and invaded which led to thousands more dying and severe escalation. So Turkey would be the right person to blame for escalation and for the state the war got to. Lastly, neither side's Government were attempting to commit genocide although both sides did have groups of soldiers who did so, and to answer your earlier statement, if records are correct more Greek Cypriot civilians were recorded to have been killed than Turkish Cypriots.

@@andrigeogiou8420Oh you swimmers won't stop playing the victim right... how many civilian Turks did the Greeks kill during the bloody Christmas incident?
Nicely done video. You neglected to mention the role of the English though, as they are the ones who divided the population in hopes that they would be too busy fighting each-other instead of uniting to get them off the island. Classic divide and conquer policy. The Cyprus independence in turn was a 1-side achievement by the Greeks, while at the same time Turkey was brought in as an adversary by the English. Like so many other places (e.g. India), the English desperately tried to hold on the power before f-ing it up and leaving.
Same story in my country (Sri Lanka) as well. The British just fomented violence between communities that lived in peace for 1000 years, and then left.
Absolutely correct. And needless to say it was the British who promoted and cultivated the Turkish minority as a counterweight to the Greek majority and its demands for enosis (union) with Greece. In an ideal world the island would have become part of Greece in keeping with the will of the overwhelming majority of its native population (not to mention historical justice if one believes in such a thing). The Turkish minority would have fared well enough within Greece (compare the lot of the Muslim minority - including Turks - in Greek Thrace and the Turks on the Dodecanese with that of the Greeks in Istanbul and the islands of Imbros and Tenedos whose numbers have been decimated. Unfortunately realpolitik would have always worked against such an outcome.
Stunning graphics about a modern-day tragedy which is close to my heart (I was born in Cyprus). I was missing the role of the British sovereign bases during the conflict for both sides. A friend of mine lived in one for several years in a camp provided for displaced persons.
I am so going to enjoy this! Man i've been a fan of this channel for a long time. Watched all the videos and i was hoping for a Cyprus video. Greetings from Cyprus!!!
Ironically enough it was incredibly effective when Turkey first gained its independence, and when the relationship with greece was good during Atatürk’s leadership: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_exchange_between_Greece_and_Turkey The Ecevit regime pushed for it precisely due to the success of the 1923 agreement
that is the most neutral Cyprus Invasion video i've ever seen. as a Greek Cypriot, I hope one day this island will reunify but with new minds in control which will see Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots as one. but unfortunately on both sides, hate is brewed by the older generations and carried over to the new
There is no need to "carry" the hate from older generations, what created that hate still exists. Older generations didn't just produce it out of thin air. There will always be someone profiting from neighboring country citizens being pitted against each other.
Look at the man at the head of the country, you know who the hate comes from, you are dishonest, you are trying to create a state for an island that is not in your land area, you are the most dishonest nation that history has ever seen.
There is no need for hate guys between us Greeks and Turkish in this comment section. Yes the Cyprus Insident is an extremely controversial issue and it is added in long list of beef between our countries due to fact that many of the protagonists are still alive and even if they are not alive they have fathered children that know the story because their fathers fought in this incident like my grandfather fought. So let's stop arguing between ourselves because kings and generals wouldn't do their job right if they didn't cover incidents just like this. This is a historic incident that happened and due to the fact that still causes beef and argument between our countries it is very important to know the facts of both sides Greeks and Turks alike. Also do not take this as an opportunity to address the issue of Vardaska (aka Ex Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) because it is not relevant with this video and as a matter of fact because the agreement that was signed is international and according to the Greek Constitution every agreement that involves two countries can be renegotiated from the start because it is an international law that has been approved from The Hague. And it happens that I know that there has been a lawsuit against the agreement in the international court of justice in The Hague from Greeks that do not agree with the agreement and we await the result so stop arguing about things that do not involve this video end this creator's because these people are doing an outstanding job of covering history.
As a Turkish man, I served in Cyprus as a mandatory military service as every Turkish man has to, The things I saw were bad for both sides in economic and everything, I hope they'll make a peace one day and unite as one.

Not all of Kocatepe's crew sunk. Some of them were rescued by other ships. Including her captain Güven Erkaya who had been the commander of the Turkish navy in the late 1990s.
You had to admit, that was a really smart deception by the Greeks, to make fake radio calls and to convince Turkey that the ship was Greek
@@PatrasPhantom no they didn't fake radios. There was a greek convoy which really goes to cyprus to supply EOKA forces. But around of that convoy, Turkeys Battleship Kocatepe was in patrol mission. And Turkish Jets strike to Kocatepe. Kocatepe's warned Turkish Jets with radios and said that they are Turkish. But Turkish Jets thought that was fake from greeks to not to target the ship. And Turkish Jets Keep targetting to Kocatepe then they sunk the Kocatepe.
Kocatepe was part of a NATO task force weeks before this happened. Some of us American sailors met with our counterparts from the Kocatepe while in Toulon and we were invited aboard . It was sad to hear of her sinking and loss of life.
Turkey started its defense industry (in the form of radio communication electronics) because of that incident.

The answer will shock you.
Does "peasants" held the industrial part of the country, had their own militias which had more than "rusty rifles", were supported by almost all the navy and air force (they could have blocked the african troops in Morocco but were incompetent), integrated thousands of international volunters to their army ranks (some of them veterans from WWI), were supported massively by the Soviet Union, Mexico, etc.
Saying both sides werent equally matched is at best debatable.
@@bluehelmi1672 The issue is that the Spanish Air Force in 1936 consisted of about 13 biplanes of varying levels of outdatedness.
Hence why the German air lift succeeded. The industry held by the Republic in 1936 is not suited to production of arms, and the Republic relied heavily on an overcharging international market, indeed this is what spells the death of the republic throughtout the war. See Howson's book Arms for Spain for more detail, but arms dealers would often charge upwards of 200% market price for very outdated rifles. (The 1st British volunteers in Spain went into action at Lopera armed with m1888 Manlicher rifles without the necessary en bloc clips meaning they were effectivley single shot weapons.)
After this, the Republic's reliance on militias in mid 1936 meant that resistance to the Army of Africa was wholy ineffective as militias wouldn't fight outside their home provinces or even their villages. They were steamrolled in open country due to lack of experience in this kind of warfare and the nationalists were able to sweep up the nation, connect their disparate territory. By the time of the International Brigades arrving en masse in November 1936 the Nationalists already had Madrid under siege, prevented the Catalans from taking Zaragoza, and taken Irun cutting the Basque region off from any possible French aid (which would realistically never arrive anyway given Franc'es political situation)

Soviet Support came (as all Soviet support did) at the end of massive expenditure and the effective morgaging of Spain's entire gold reserve.
So by the end of 1936 we have a relatively inefficent industry, supported by an indifferent ally, and an ally across the ocean, unable to help due to Nationalist dominance of the sea (thanks to the sailor's committees being very coy in the running of their ships and the admirals desrting to the nationalists) whose military, frankly, isn't and is only effective in urban warfare.
vs a highly trained army, with a strong political grip on their zone of control, backed by two allies who were in it up to the hilt in exchange for economic concessions. (the Soviets never sent anymore than advisors the CTV numbered 70,000 by war's end)
So yeah it is an unbalanced fight. Not unwinnable given some more favourable circumstances for the Republic or more overt Soviet support, or the involvement of France and Britain. (or even just France) But these things were unlikely for a myriad of reasons.

In fact, over time Turkic people who came to Anatolia mixed so much with the Greek (as well as middle easterners, native Anatolians, Caucasians, and other Europeans) that genetically and culturally the two nations are similar in many ways. Conflict aroused with the manipulation of big states who benefited from conflict, there's no reason for the two nations to be enemies
@KONSTANTIN XXX 1453 is just a date when Constantinople changed administration. 1913 well is just a regular year i guess. Greeks and Turks lived together wat before 1453 and way after 1913. Two tiny nations hating each other and throwing tiny military tantrums is nothing good for both parties.

Having lived for some years in Greece let me offer you some extra historical information about this period.
The millitary junta running Greece was very unpopular and a year prior they had attacked young students in Athens protesting against their regime the 1973 anti-junta rally in the university of Athens had several dead and wounded. Makarios on the other hand refused to be the puppet of the curnals running the junta so the Enosis was a pretext to overthrow him and have a loyal guy there.
So the whole thing pretty much started because the military coup in Greece was on it's last legs and tried desperately to survive
The sad part i experienced being in both Greece and Turkey was that the average people never were pro-war, but they still allow goverments and great powers to play them like dolls. Greece always was influenced by UK and USA and Turkey by USA and lately Russia. Grow up and realise that the days of Byzantium and Ottoman are behind us and try live a normal life the superpowers of the world are no longer Turkey and Greece.
As a Greek I can say that (nowadays) we don't want to expand.we just want to keep our territory and protect our islands from the Turks
as a Greek I couldn't agree more. Sad thing being under a regime that is hateful towards anyone but themselves. History tells us that when a regime is on the brink of collapse they always start a war. And that's what happened with Cyprus
Only resolution with the islands would be a joint alowence for both populations imho. There should be a non militarized zone and a no fly zone for military aircrafts to prevent future clashes at it happens frequently. Turkish air force is an agressor on that demand while greek air force also makes agressive flights time to time.
The real problem is the governments, while greeks are mild the Turkish government today is shifting towards nationalism and islamism day by day. Which is the opposite of 1974.
The real red line with the islands is the territorial waters, there has to be a joint economical zone for that which needs to be accapted by both nations, only non stop passage allowed for military and a free movement for the individuals and other vessels.
All of this might prevent the problems about who has the land and water. It can be, should be and will be resolved like this eventually. It has to be since greeks and Turks who lives in the coasts are not very different. Their lifestyles and cultures are pretty much identical. They just need a common ground guarenteed by their own governments to be happy and to stay out of all this nationalist bullshits.
as a turkish i want to underline about "importance of education". Basically both sides are poor countries and they have no vision for future. Both sides only proud from past, not even TODAY. I wish for peaceful aegea, love from izmir.

EOKA was an guerrilla organization formed at 1955 that fought a campaign for the end of British rule over Cyprus. EOKA B was formed on 1971 and had a way more nationalist goals in mind. It was in fact considered a terrorist organization by RC.

@@hwhshhsjsjahzjsnns6719 EOKA B did that. Two completely different organizations. And trust me many Greeks think "than god for EOKA B that way we got rid of our junta". EOKA fought for the independence of cyprus 10 to 20 years before 74.

@@wanshitong7877 different set of events. no its was not eoka A or B it was an intercomulal violence instigated by both sides.
@@mp44christos "instigated by both sides." yeah sure buddy here are some fact that states otherwise:
-"The spark that ignited the explosion of violence happened at 02:30hrs on the 21st December when Greek Cypriot 'special constables' shot dead two Turkish Cypriots who refused to show their identity cards."
-"After the shooting,crowds of turkish cypriots gathered in the northern part of Nicosia,often led by the Turkish Resistance Organisation(TMT).On 22 December,the funerals of the victims were held without incident.However,shooting broke out on the evening of December 22.Cars full of armed Greek Cypriots roamed through the streets of Nicosia and fired indiscriminately and Turkish Cypriots fired at patrolling cars."
-Robert Stephens in 'Cyprus - A place of Arms' describes the fighting as follows;
"Greek Cypriot security forces, police and armed irregulars, mostly ex-EOKA, launched a massive counter-attack on the Turkish Cypriot positions in Nicosia."
and this is the exact reason Turkey invaded the island in 1974 to prevent same shit happening again.
I'm not saying turks were all innocent in this scenario because both communities has produced its own melodramatic accounts of the December 1963 fighting but i think it is quite easy to see the discrimination and the violence,hatred against turkish cypriots by both the goverment and the majority of the people(greek cypriots).
Isn't it strange that the international community recognizes the Republic of Northern Ireland as a part of the UK but not the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The EU states that there should not be a divided island in the EU thus it will not recognize the TRNC, but they make an exception for Northern Ireland. European double standard at its finest!

From Cyprus to Ireland, and from Palestine to Sri Lanka, the British Empire left a legacy of poisonous hatred and ethnic conflict. Why? While all colonial empires were bad, the British had an especially harmful arrangement for dealing with subject peoples, namely, dealing in "communal" not "individual" rights. Of course, this also served their "divide and rule" tactics (used by all imperial systems in history) but it was not only that, for you can see its harmful consequences in Britain itself today ("parallel societies", "Londonistan" etc.) Compare this with the French colonial practices, which, in my view, were far more progressive and beneficial. Of course the French were also racist and exploitative, and committed horrible atrocities in their colonies (Algeria, Vietnam etc.) But French ideology and nation-building were (and remain) Universalist and Republican. Thus, in former French colonies, there developed a progressive and unifying anti-colonial nationalism, that helped form nations, not "communities" that were at each other's throat....
@lvan Big Nob I wouldn't say that. Morocco and Vietnam are relatively successful states, for example. But this isn't my point. All colonial empires were bad, racist and exploitative but the British practice of dealing with people in a "communal" basis meant that all ethno-cultural and religious differences were made a million times worse, and you can see the results the world over, and even in Britain itself. The most tragic example is, of course, the Indian Subcontinent.
@lvan Big Nob I don't hate the British, or the French, or the Americans, or the Chinese. And I'm not a "silly Arab". But you are a sorry little racist. There is no point in having a discussion, therefore.
@ I am very aware of the hatred between these two peoples. My point was about the nature of British statecraft and its harmful consequences, including in Britain itself today (when people accuse the British, they usually speak of the "divide and rule" tactics, which, if you read carefully my original comment, I do not). Namely, the main problem was dealing in "communal", not "individual rights". You might agree or disagree with that, but don't say that I hate the British. I've been to Britain and I liked many things there, and especially the people. A lot. But that has nothing to do with historical assessments or the practice of statecraft.
@ marcus Hayneiz Well, I don't disagree with most of what you say here. You probably didn't read my original comment carefully, and where exactly the British made things worse..
@ You have a completely Eurocentric perspective. I find it astonishing that in the 21st century someone would defend colonialism. Everyone should be proud of his/her culture, but not defend aggressive expansion and violence. And to repeat, I'm not saying that the French were better people or had nicer motives than the British, just that their way of governing helped form modern nation-states. There are other areas where the British proved to be much more progressive, women's rights for example.
i was there in all of that conflict as a un soldier we rescued many people when the port of limassol fell to the greek cypriot forces. many women and children were imprisoned in a football stadium, and at great risk to our selves a few of us negotiated with the greek cypriots who were pretty high and gun happy after their victory there but we got many civilians out, we also managed to convoy many mixed nationals from areas under direct fire to safety;at various times, delicate times,
@@williamdavis9562 He never mentioned the burning of entire villages or slaughtering of inhabitants, and the corralling of civilians into football stadiums was as he said for 'imprisonment' not extermination. Why engage a force militarily when it can be achieved diplomatically.
@@williamdavis9562 Atrocities against Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots did occur, but what I meant is that in the situation David Gaston mentioned, there were no instances of the violence you are implying and he proves in his encounter that diplomacy is just as effective as force in those occurrences.
@Roygbiv 1) There we no instances of violence in the situation described by David Gaston, maybe you should read my comment again. 2) Ethnic cleansing and genocide are the same thing, both are mass murders based on ethnic prejudice. 3) Last I recall I wasn't even born anytime near the War in Cyprus so I am pretty sure I didn't try to commit an ethnic cleansing. 4) And lastly, the ethnic killings were mutual, the argument that it was 'self-defence' is a commonly used arguments by Turks, especially in the case of the Armenian genocide. So are you telling me that the massacres at Asha, Prastio, Eptakomi and Angolemi, where Turkish Cypriot militia men and Turkish soldiers tied up civilians (including women and children), shot them and dumped their bodies in mass graves were in self defence. If you want any of the links to the evidence of these massacres, the European Parliament has quite a few, so just dm me.
@Roygbiv Once again whats with all the 'you'. No I did not start the war in Cyprus, no I am not at fault and no, I wasn't trying to put an end to Turkish existence anywhere lmao. Lets look at the facts here, seeing as I've already proven you wrong I may as well continue to do so. Ethnic killings between the two sides did happen before war broke out but on a relatively minor scale. EOKA led a coup which removed the Government and took over, Turkey then invaded, war then broke out. Arguments for who started would therefore bounce between different sides, Turks arguing Greeks and vice versa. Escalation of the war was caused by Turkey however, seeing as after the first invasion, EOKA fell and the old Government came back in and therefore wanted peace again, but Turkey pressed on and invaded which led to thousands more dying and severe escalation. So Turkey would be the right person to blame for escalation and for the state the war got to. Lastly, neither side's Government were attempting to commit genocide although both sides did have groups of soldiers who did so, and to answer your earlier statement, if records are correct more Greek Cypriot civilians were recorded to have been killed than Turkish Cypriots.
@Roygbiv I could keep this argument going for days on end but then again, I have already proven you wrong are you keep coming back so it's a whatever.

Nicely done video. You neglected to mention the role of the English though, as they are the ones who divided the population in hopes that they would be too busy fighting each-other instead of uniting to get them off the island. Classic divide and conquer policy. The Cyprus independence in turn was a 1-side achievement by the Greeks, while at the same time Turkey was brought in as an adversary by the English.
Like so many other places (e.g. India), the English desperately tried to hold on the power before f-ing it up and leaving.
Same story in my country (Sri Lanka) as well. The British just fomented violence between communities that lived in peace for 1000 years, and then left.
he did mention the british were the primary mediators of the island but the specific influence wasnt really zoomed in upon tho indeed
@@sunwukong1754 same here in India/Pakistan as well
Absolutely correct. And needless to say it was the British who promoted and cultivated the Turkish minority as a counterweight to the Greek majority and its demands for enosis (union) with Greece. In an ideal world the island would have become part of Greece in keeping with the will of the overwhelming majority of its native population (not to mention historical justice if one believes in such a thing). The Turkish minority would have fared well enough within Greece (compare the lot of the Muslim minority - including Turks - in Greek Thrace and the Turks on the Dodecanese with that of the Greeks in Istanbul and the islands of Imbros and Tenedos whose numbers have been decimated. Unfortunately realpolitik would have always worked against such an outcome.

Yes the Cyprus Insident is an extremely controversial issue and it is added in long list of beef between our countries due to fact that many of the protagonists are still alive and even if they are not alive they have fathered children that know the story because their fathers fought in this incident like my grandfather fought.
So let's stop arguing between ourselves because kings and generals wouldn't do their job right if they didn't cover incidents just like this.
This is a historic incident that happened and due to the fact that still causes beef and argument between our countries it is very important to know the facts of both sides Greeks and Turks alike.
Also do not take this as an opportunity to address the issue of Vardaska (aka Ex Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) because it is not relevant with this video and as a matter of fact because the agreement that was signed is international and according to the Greek Constitution every agreement that involves two countries can be renegotiated from the start because it is an international law that has been approved from The Hague.
And it happens that I know that there has been a lawsuit against the agreement in the international court of justice in The Hague from Greeks that do not agree with the agreement and we await the result so stop arguing about things that do not involve this video end this creator's because these people are doing an outstanding job of covering history.
