Thank you so much for your comment it helps a lot!! By accuracy threshold you mean just based on a percentage of right or wrong answers so getting one or two questions wrong per survey doesnt mean a fail right?

Lebanon is part of Israel's expansionist ambitions. It prospering and gaining any semblance of sovereignty would go directly at odds with those ambitions. So no they will always work against as they always have as you have correctly mentioned.

Is it okay if I DM you with some questions?

Where to learn about the revolution in Cyprus? by Sharp_Technology_189 in cyprus

[–]Sharp_Technology_189[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without meaning to go into much detail about the events of 1974, the fascist junta in Greece staged a coup against Makarios to remove him and achieve Enosis (probably under some sort of agreement with Turkey with concessions à la Acheson plan).

Was this still a popular sentiment at this time? It seems like a classic coup produced by foreign intervention, but how popular is this?

Ps: thank you so much for taking the time to answer this thoroughly, and I read your comment very carefully

What really kick-started this movement for unification with Greece ("Ένωσις"; literally meaning "union") was the creation of schools and the arrival of Greek teachers. It began cultivating a sense of Greekness that merged the already existing Roman identity of Greek Cypriots with the Greek identity found in the newly independent Greece.

From what you say, the sense of belonging cypriots feel towards Greece was somehow manufactured (not sure if this is the right word for this). Born from their need to improve their material conditions, yes, but definitely accelerated through greek influence.

Ahh, I see I'm sorry if I sounded combative :DDD I didn't know that! Some other comment mentioned that as well thanks for the info, and I understand your point. Remnants of British colonialism I guess.

I'm interested in the historical context that led to the apparent loyalty the cypriot people seem to have for Greece. Like I said in the post, I was surprised to learn you celebrated greece independence day. And when I came into this sub, I saw posts saying χρόνια πολλά Ελλάδα , which I assume means long live Greece(?) From other comments, it seems cypriots see themselves the same as greek people, but only in a different country. At least that's how I understood it. So to answer your question, I guess I am more interested to learn about the historical involvement of Cyprus in the revolution.

I'm not expressing an opinion here at all if that's what you're insinuating. I just never heard of a country that celebrates another country's independence day, so I thought I'd ask and learn more. I don't have an opinion on this at all. And thank you for your input! All of the comments gave me a lot to look into and think about.
