Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 led to the establishment of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus and the creation of a buffer zone between the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots. The Annan Plan for Cyprus was put to a referendum in 2004, but was rejected by the Greek Cypriots. The European Union's enlargement to include Cyprus in 2004 has had significant implications for the Turkish Cypriots, including the potential for Turkey's accession to the European Union. The UN Security Council Resolution 541 and the UN Security Council Resolution 550 have played a crucial role in shaping the United Nations' stance on the issue.

The Ottoman Empire's rule over Cyprus from 1571 to 1878 had a profound impact on the island's demographics and culture.

The EOKA and the TMT were key players in the intercommunal violence that erupted in the 1950s and 1960s. The Acheson Plan and the London-Zurich Agreements were attempts to resolve the conflict, but ultimately failed to prevent the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.
