1936 CE to 1947 CE

In late 1946, the British government announces plans to liberalize the colonial administration of Cyprus and to invite Cypriots to form a Consultative Assembly for the purpose of discussing a new constitution.

Demonstrating their good will and conciliatory attitude, the British also allow the return of the 1931 exiles, repeal the 1937 religious laws, and pardon the leftists who had been convicted of sedition in 1946.

Instead of rejoicing, as expected by the British, the Greek Cypriot hierarchy reacts angrily because there has been no mention of enosis.
