'''Makarios II''' was Archbishop of [[Cyprus]] from [[1948]] until [[1950]].

Makarios was born in [[Prodromos]], [[Lemesos province]], in [[1870]]. He studied at the [[Great School of the Nation]] in Istanbul before entering the Theological Seminary of Chalki. On [[March 20]], [[1917]], he was elected Archbishop of [[Kyrenia]].

After the disturbances of [[1931]], Makarios was exiled by the British. He returned after [[World War II]].

He was elected Archbishop of Cyprus, without opposition, on [[December 24]], [[1947]], despite the opposition of the political left for his staunch pro-[[Enosis]] stand. To this end Makarios came up with the idea of a Church-held referendum throughout Cyprus in January, [[1950]] which showed that 97% of the electorate favoured [[Enosis]].

He died on [[June 28]], [[1950]] and was succeeded by [[Makarios III]] - the future President.
