Most of the Cypriot population, especially the lower classes,
remained loyal to the British cause during the Great War and the
island contributed significantly to the First World War, with men
and materials. The British acknowledged this yet failed to
institute political and economic reforms once the war ended. The
obsession of Greek Cypriot elites with enosis (union with Greece),
which only increased after the war, and the British dismissal of
increasing the role of Cypriots in government, bringing the
Christian and Muslim communities closer, and expanding franchise to
all classes and sexes, led to serious problems down the line, not
least the development of a democratic deficit. Andrekos Varnava
studies the events and the impact of this crucial period.
