    isn’t it a bit ironic that he wasn’t just fighting for independence but for an end to british rule so Greece could annex Cyprus? Isn’t  that just trading one imperial power for another?

    there has been a lot of imperialism historically on the part of Greece as well. Some factions even support reconstituting parts the Byzantine empire based on past territorial claims by Greece.  Those ideas seem to come up anytime there is an opportunity to expand. Cyprus being a somewhat recent example.

    In 1974  Greece was still trying to overthrow the government of independent Cyprus 

    golden dawn today supports the concept of “the Megali Idea”, which in practice is basically what Russia is actually doing with former Russian lands.  For example, if you speak Russian, and Russia use to control it then Russia is entitled to control it today.  It’s imperialist ideology no question 

    the death of the queen undoubtedly will bring up the past history of the british empire however it’s also important to consider all the other kids imperialist  ideas floating around even today.
