After WWII, Cyprus was gaining independence from Britain and was filled with Greek nationalism, which alienated the large Turkish population. The desire of the Greek population for union with Greece was matched by Turkish intervention, leading to a coup by pro-Greek forces which spawned an invasion by Turkey into the north end of the island. This led to a division of the island into a Greek and Turkish part with population transfers and Turkish Immigration creating a ethnically homogeneous population in each half. Efforts to end this division or create an independent Turkish Cypriot state have dominated the island's foreign affairs since then.
