One of the biggest ones has been Cyprus, and that one came to a head in 1974. The Greek government, which was ruled by a military junta at the time, attempted a coup to overthrow the government of Cyprus, along with a group of Greek Cypriot nationalists which was known as EOKA-B, and this was presumably done in order to enact enosis - the unification of Cyprus with Greece. However, the coup failed, and Turkey - with the tacit support of NATO - launched an invasion in response which ultimately led to the occupation of 1/3 of the island by the Turks, and that occupation continues to this day. The Turkish occupied area of Cyprus issued a unilateral Declaration of Independence, but thus far has received recognition only from the government of Turkey.
