The territory of this country is less than 65,438+0,000. After independence, it was split in two, and even the capital was split in two.

Many people think that there are many internal problems in big countries in the world, because big countries often have complex ethnic components, and many of them are difficult to reconcile. For example, there are more than 170 ethnic groups in Russia, and the ethnic contradictions in India are more complicated. However, compared with big countries, small countries are even less peaceful. For example, the following country has a small territory, less than 65,438+0,000 square kilometers. But it was forcibly split in two by neighboring countries, and even the capital was split in two.

This country is Cyprus, a Mediterranean island country with a land area of over 9,200 square kilometers. It is not as big as a city in China, and even smaller than Tianjin, with a population of less than1.2000. It can be said that it is a small country anyway. However, it is such a small island country that its territory is divided into four parts, the north and the south are divided into two parts, and even the capital is divided into two parts, which is incredible.

At present, 40% of the land in northern Cyprus is controlled by the Turks, and the Turkish Republic of Cyprus has been established. Nearly 60% of the land in the south belongs to the Greek nationality and is now recognized as the official of Cyprus. In addition, there are two plots, one is Jaccro Tilly base, which is located in the south of the island; One is Dekelia, which is located in the southeast of the island. These two plots belong to Britain.

What's even more amazing is that Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, has also been divided into two parts, and a wall has been built on both sides, which is quite similar to the division of Germany. Many people may ask, why is such a small country so chaotic? First, let's take a look at Akrotiri and Dekelia. These two plots are 1959. When the British agreed to the independence of Cyprus, they were forcibly ceded. Now it is a British overseas military base and an enclave of Britain in Cyprus.

The division between the north and the south is mainly attributed to Turkey, because there are two major tribes in Cyprus, the Greeks account for 70% and the Turks account for 10%. According to the general tradition, this country must be decided by the Greeks. However, the Turks were not happy, so they found the boss Turkey. 1983, Turkey invaded Cyprus directly, forcibly occupied 40% of the land in the north where Turks lived, and occupied half of the capital, thus establishing the Turkish Republic of Cyprus, which is now recognized only by Turkey.

So the long-term confrontation between the north and the south began. I'm still chattering. If there were no United Nations peacekeeping forces, I'm afraid it would be a battle. Now the north and south of Cyprus are like two countries, and the north has Turkish customs. Everything is in accordance with Turkish customs, and Turkish is spoken. The south is full of Greek customs. It is very lively to speak Greek and keep the habits of the Greeks.
