<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Enosis''' is the [[Greek language|Greek]] word for "union". In Modern Greek history, it has primarily been used to signify the unification to the independent Greek state, of an unredeemed part of the Greek nation (e.g. [[Crete]] and much more recently [[Cyprus]]).<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
In [[1830]], after the [[Greek Revolution]], Greece was recognised as an independent state. The newly-independent state, however, comprised little more than [[Peloponnesus]], [[Rumeli]] and the [[Cyclades]] island complex. Fully two-thirds of the Greek nation was left outside its borders. This included Greeks in [[Thessaly]], [[Epirus]], [[Macedonia]], [[Thrace]], western [[Asia Minor]], [[Pontus]], several [[Aegean Sea|Aegean]] islands including [[Crete]], [[Chios]], [[Lesbos]] and [[Samos]] plus the island of [[Cyprus]].<br />
<br />
Some, like [[Samos]], had limited autonomy but the majority had little say in their future and yearned to unite with their brethren in the Greek State. For them the word "Enosis" became a rallying cry.<br />
<br />
After the [[First Balkan War]], most of the islands of the Aegean Sea were united with Greece as was the independent state of [[Crete]]. After the [[Asia Minor disaster]], more than 1,000,000 Greeks of Asia Minor came to Greece as refugees. After [[World War II]], the [[Dodecanese]] were re-united with their Greek brethren so, in the post-WW II years, "Enosis" has been used nearly exclusively to mean the union of [[Cyprus]], a British colony until [[1960]] and "independent" state since, with the Greek state. <br />
<br />
==Cyprus==<br />
Enosis was sought by the Greek majority of Cyprus since the British arrived on the island. In greeting the first British governor, the Archbishop of Cyprus made him aware of his flock's wishes concerning the future of the island.<br />
<br />
In [[1931]], frustration over British apathy towards their aspirations led Cypriots to demonstrate in [[Lefkosia]] and throughout Cyprus. The heavy-handed British response turned the demonstrations into riots with several government buildings burned down.<br />
<br />
On [[January 15]], [[1950]], the Church of Cyprus organised a plebiscite with over 96% voting for Enosis with Greece. <br />
<br />
Finally, on [[April 1]], [[1955]], after all previous actions had failed, the Cypriots resorted to armed struggle forming the military organisation [[EOKA]] whose one and only aim was Enosis with Greece. The British refused to give in and, in [[1960]], following the treaties of London and Zurich, the Republic of Cyprus was proclaimed. As Samos and Crete had also gone through a period of independence prior to their unification with the mother country, many Cypriots also hoped that would be the case with them. To date, Enosis in their case has not been achieved.</div>Irlandos
