Why did Turkey invade Cyprus?
Cyprus had two ethnic groups, Greeks and Turks. As a condition to the independence of Cyprus from Britain in 1960; Greece, Turkey and Cyprus agreed to a power-sharing government in which the Minority Turks had less power in total, but slightly more power per person. Cyprus would be independent from Britain, Greece and Turkey. By 1974 the Turks and Greeks in Cyprus were no longer working together that well, and Greece was controlled by a military junta. Greece threatened to take complete control of Cyprus, and make it part of Greece, ignoring the views of the Turkish minority although at this point the Greek majority liked the idea.As a guarantor powers Turkey invaded Cyprus to bring peace, but because the Greeks still wanted to join Greece the Turkish in Cyprus created the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

What two groups have struggled in Cyprus?
Cyprus is one country with two major ethno-religious groups: Orthodox Greeks (Christians) and Sunni Turks (Muslims). They coexisted in a state of uneasy peace until Greeks from mainland Greece tried to perform Enosis (Annexation) of the island. The Turkish government used this as pretext to invade and militarily occupy the northern third of the island. Most Turkish Cypriots fled to the Turkish-occupied zone and most Greek Cypriots in the zone fled to independent Cyprus, making the island ethnically divided between Independent Cyprus and Occupied Cyprus (called by its supporters the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus).
