Abstract
This chapter focuses on Cyprus, an island with a majority Greek population. After nearly four centuries of rule by Western states, the island fell to Ottoman conquerors in 1571. The victors introduced the Muslim faith, along with a new set of overlords, by settling members of the victorious army and converting a portion of the indigenous Orthodox population to Islam. The island was a provincial backwater, largely ignored by its Ottoman overlords, save for collecting taxes and suppressing the occasional popular revolt. The Orthodox Church of Cyprus, an autocephalous part of the Eastern Church, administered the affairs of the Christian population for the Ottoman rulers, and preserved and developed a strong sense of faith and Greek identity among the island's ethnic majority. Overall, that population was poor, uneducated, and rural.
