December 1914 CE
Britain, involved with Turkey in the Great War, annexes the island of Cyprus in late 1914.
The Greek Cypriot population initially welcomes the British occupation and expects them to transfer Cyprus to Greece.
Turkish Cypriots oppose the Greek Cypriots' demand for enosis (union with Greece), constituting a major division in the island's politics.
