The British Empire in Cyprus 1878-1960 [Episode 132]

For 82 years, the Mediterranean island of Cyprus was a British colony. Here, I really focus on that era. Although I did two previous episodes on Cyprus, they are not ‘sequential’ and can be listened to in any order – reverse order can work as well as the release order.I draw on three key books:The Turks in Cyprus: A Province of the Ottoman Empire – by Ahmet C GazioğluCyprus Under British Rule – by CWJ Orr (Army Captain)The Death of Friendship: A Cyprus Memoir – by Türkan Aziz (MBE)I hope you enjoy this episode, drawing on my 7 years on the island, and my personal collection of rare books on the island. <br/><br/>Message me anytime on Instagram, or e-mail: AlbionNeverDies@gmail.com<br/><br/>Check out my https://www.youtube.com/britishculture<br/>Check out my Red Bubble shop<br/><br/>Several subscribers have their postcards and other little 'thank you's in the post, randomly drawn from the list, and one has a free mug on the way!<br/><br/>Subscribe to my newsletter: https://youtube.us9.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b3afdae99897eebbf8ca022c8&id=5165536616      Support the show
