This work examines British rule in Cyprus, with a focus on how
Britain formulated policies for that rule. It traces Britain's
imperial and foreign policy in Cyprus from 1939 to 1955, from the
outbreak of World War II until the beginning of the EOKA rising of
1955. The book puts forward two basic arguments. First, the
violence of 1955 was not a thunderbolt from the blue, but the
logical outcome of the events of the previous year. Second, British
policy was an often ill-defined set of ideas devised between
British ministries and departments in conflict over the form the
island's future should take. This study examines a number of
actions by colonial administrators which, with the advantage of
hindsight, appear out of step with reality. Following the
introduction, which opens with a discussion of the history and
geography of Cyprus in 1939, the book covers the outbreak of the
war and the invasion threat. After, its coverage of the war years,
the book details the developments in Cyprus during the years
1945-1949, a period which saw the British offer the constitution to
the Cypriots. Next, the book discusses the Plebiscite, Turkish
reactions to changes in Cyprus, and other events that occurred in
Cyprus between 1949-1951. The next section details the rise of
Makarios (1951-1953), and finally, the book concludes with a
discussion of the role of the United Nations and the rise of
violence beginning in 1955. This book should appeal to researchers
and students interested in Cypriot and British history, the Cold
War, the United Nations, and the course of Anglo-Greek relations.
