More from this exhibit at the War Museum about the UN mission to Cyprus.
In 1974, the mission changed significantly. Turkish forces landed and invaded the north part of the island to protect Turk nationalists on Cyprus. The fighting intensified, and Canadian peacekeepers were caught in the midst of it.
Canadian forces scaled down by 1993 in Cyprus, but not entirely, and the island and its mission still has a legacy in the history of Canadian military operations.
