Wie war Zypern unter der osmanischen Herrschaft und war es besser als die britische Herrschaft?

The Ottoman Empire established mosques, Turkish baths (hammams), tombs, bazaars, and madrasas in Cyprus. After their arrival on the island, many churches were converted into mosques. The Rum presence on the island was maintained, and some active churches were also allowed to remain. Britain attempted a „divide and rule“ policy, seeking to exploit the Greek-Turkish rift. ENOSIS attacks began during this period. Philhellenism became influential, and migration from Greece to the island occurred.

The Ottoman Empire implemented the classic imperial administration. It was already a Roman-style Turkish empire—a synthesis of Turkish, Persian, and Roman imperial structures. sometimes the empire also utilized the island as a place of exile for criminals.

Cyprus was completely neglected during Ottoman rule. The Sultans considered it a far away Greek island and they had no interest in it. They pretty much left its administration to the Patriarchate, that didn’t really have the means/money (or the will, if we are being completely honest) to do anything for it.

Say what you will about the Brits, but the first 20 years of their rule trully transformed Cyprus. They built a fuckton of infrastructure and sort of put Cyprus on the map as a mini tourist destination.
Before them, there was literally not even a single proper road on the entire island.
