The power struggle in Cyprus primarily involved the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, with tensions escalating in the mid-20th century over issues of governance and national identity. The conflict came to a head in 1974 when a Greek-led coup aimed at uniting Cyprus with Greece prompted Turkey to invade the island, leading to its division. This division persists today, with the Republic of Cyprus in the south and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognized only by Turkey, in the north. The situation has drawn international attention, including from Canada, which has a significant diaspora from both communities.
