In the 1950s, Cyprus became the stage for one of the most audacious anti-colonial insurgencies of the 20th century. At its head stood Archbishop Makarios III, a charismatic cleric who walked a tightrope between diplomatic negotiations and covert support for the guerrilla fighters of EOKA. This episode explores the intricate relationship between Makarios and General Georgios Grivas, the secret cell structure that evaded British intelligence, the smuggling of arms hidden in ecclesiastical supplies, and the dramatic 1956 deportation of Makarios to the Seychelles. We also examine the controversial legacy of 'enosis' (union with Greece) and the 1960 Zurich-London Agreements that created an independent Cyprus instead. Drawing on British colonial archives, Cypriot memoirs, and the personal letters of Makarios, we uncover the moral complexities of a bishop who blessed a secret war. Names like Kyrenia, the Troodos Mountains, and the Kykkos Monastery feature prominently in this story of faith, nationalism, and empire. #MakariosIII #EOKA #CypriotHistory #Enosis #GeorgiosGrivas #BritishEmpire #AntiColonial #1950s #Seychelles #ZurichLondon #Kyrenia #Troodos #Cyprus #Archbishop #Guerrilla #Decolonization #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
