The conflict continues. After a rocky separation from the British empire in 1960, there was conflict between the ethnic Greek majority and Turkish minority on Cyprus. Turkey invaded in 1974 and the resolution is messy. The Republic of Cyprus has de jure sovereignty over the entire island but is de facto partitioned into two parts, including the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. I am reminded of Ireland.
