Illustrate the belief systems of the Cypriot, Algerian, and Mau Mau revolutionaries
What will be an ideal response?
• One of the important aspects of these revolts is that in every case each side believed it had moral authority.
• The British believed they were maintaining peace on Cyprus while Greek Cypriots waged a terrorist campaign for 1) their freedom and 2) political domination over Turkish Cypriots.
• In other words, the Greek Cypriots would seek to do the same thing to the Turks that the British were doing to them.
• Algerian rebels justified the murder of noncombatants in the name of independence.
• The French responded with suppression and torture, telling the police officers and soldiers that Algerian terrorists were less than human.
• Mau Mau insurgents murdered fellow citizens while British forces and loyalists struck back ruthlessly, believing they could create a multicultural society.
• The Mau Mau rebels were destroyed, yet the political settlement that followed achieved their overall goal partially because the British voters were appalled by counterterrorist tactics.
