Greece became a union of the City kingdoms, Macedonia, Sparta etc because of the rivalries causing conflicts. Cyprus has never caused a conflict, so Athens has never wanted to rule over Cyprus to subdue insurgency ...

And also because the Cypriots would have put up too good a fight - like the Spartans.... It only took 300 Cypriots to chase out the Brits!

That's nothing! 300-500 irregulars of EOKA-B defeated whole world in 1974. No one could dare to touch them, to the contrary they were granted amnesty after 2 years lasted brave resitence struggle. Though their rowdyism costed the division of Cyprus and 1/3 of each Cypriot community to become refugees in their own homeland.

The Island of Cyprus has been offered by Great Britain to Greece on condition that she joins the war on the side of the Allies. Annoucement of this offer is made in two London newspapers this morning.

Why do you think Venizelos rejected the above offer?

Having in mind the disastrous events in Asia minor, I reckon because he feared he couldn't keep it. I think he made the right choice.

What was the date of the Kataklysmos in Mikri Asiatiki?

What in heaven are you talking about? Have you gone completely crazy?

It was after. I know that.

What I meant is whether he could predict that a new front, in Cyprus, could not have been handled.

Thereby, he chose to leave Cyprus in British command to protect her. Anyway, it's just a guess.

I thought that perhaps he had consulted the oracles of Delhi.

I forgive you.

No, seriously though, only fools would trust empty British promises. Look at the promises made to the Arabs and the Jews.

The Oracles of Delhi Deniz would have proposed a good out-sourcing solution.
