Cyprus Issue in Ottoman-English Relations (1878-1923) After the Berlin Conference

Abstract

1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War (or the War of 93) was a result of Russia’s policies which aimed at taking control of the Balkans, spreading Panslavic politics and attempting to revolt Balkan nations against Ottomans. In this war, Ottoman struggles against Russian, Romanian, Serbian, Montenegrin and Bulgarian rebels both in Danubian and Caucasian fronts. The war resulted in Russia’s advance as far as Yeşilköy and the Treaty of San Stefano was signed on March 3 1878. Russia enhanced its control over the Balkans by this agreement. This alarmed other western countries like England, Germany, France and Austria. Because, Russia’s advance to the warm seas would be hindrance to England’s politics in India, Austria’s annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina and at the same time contradict with Germany’s imperialist politics. As a result, Conference of Berlin was assembled by initiative of the Western countries. At the end of the conference, Treaty of Berlin was signed between Ottoman Empire and the Western powers; Russia, Germany, Austria, Hungary, England and France in July 13 1878. If we deal with the Treaty of Berlin from the Ottoman-English relations perspective, the Issue of Cyprus is one of the important issues that come into prominence. Struggle for domination over Cyprus continued between two states for a long time. Ottoman State temporarily left Cyprus to England but later unable to take it back. In this study, situation of Cyprus until the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923 will be discussed.
