Note: The 1931 Cyprus Riots (Oktovriana) were an uprising against British colonial rule, driven by Greek Cypriot demands for Enosis (union with Greece). Following the burning of Government House in Nicosia, the revolt was suppressed, leading to deaths, arrests, political repression, and a decade of strict authoritarian colonial administration.
