Actually, watching it happen in real time and seeing people insist, in real time, that it's irrelevant... makes me wonder how many times it's happened before and been ignored. How much of what I've been taught about history can I trust?
History is mostly BS. Fairy tales very broadly and crudely constrained by some dates and events. We don't know a thing. And that's one reason we can't learn. The past is recast for propaganda purposes to control the present and the future. Nothing more.
The deeper you look, the more complex and intricate the story becomes.
Read it from the perspective of Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots, Turkey, Greece, UK, and US. Look into who committed what, and how they got in that position in the first place.
All in all sad sight. The smaller the countries, the weaker, the more similar, the more adversarial are they towards one another. It's like a pathological sibling relationship. There's dissonance and each one is fighting to "set the record straight" and dominate.
