November 1955 CE

Harding declares a state of emergency in November, banning public assemblies, introducing the
death penalty for carrying a weapon, and making strikes illegal.

British troops are put on a wartime footing, and about three hundred British policemen are brought to the island to replace EOKA sympathizers purged from the local force.
