In July 1974, a significant political event occurred in Cyprus when a coup d'état backed by the Greek military junta led to the overthrow of President Makarios III. This coup triggered a Turkish invasion of Cyprus on July 20, citing the need to protect the Turkish-Cypriot community. The invasion resulted in the division of the island, which remains a point of contention between Greece and Turkey, and has had lasting impacts on Cypriot politics and international relations.
