      means it was a French imposition from the period when they ruled Mexico. Even though we kicked them out (what 5 de Mayo celebrates), the upper classes maintained close cultural ties that were then absorbed by the middle class.

      Interesting. Similar thing in Cyprus with UK is some small respects, which is why almost everybody "well off" studies in the UK.

      We celebrate kicking them out April the 1st — originally they thought we were joking. But it's a much complex story than left-wing VS right-wing as most anti-British/anti-colonial Cypriot guerilla fighters where extreme right-wing.

      hilarious! (the kicking out bit) Do say more about the politics though. What terms did the extreme right use to define itself? If its too big of a question, pls feel free to send me to the internet 😊

      This asking for the whole of the history of Modern Cyprus. So I'll try to give a brief overview. They defined themselves as Greek (not as Cypriot) & as Orthodox Christian (not Greek Orthodox though, Cypriot Orthodox; they are autocephalous, amusingly).

      When they got their independence, which was negotiated with their representative (the Archbishop of Cyprus). They were and are the majority view in Cyprus, so they voted in the Archbishop as president.

      So when they obtained this power they started murdering Muslims (aka Turkish Cypriots), and moved them into ghettos/enclaves. The constitution they had negotiated with the UK and the two guarantor powers (Greece and Turkey) however, had provisions for such a genocide.

      It states clearly that the guarantor powers are able to intervene into affairs in order to protect their affiliated populations, which Turkey did.

          For some reason the view that it was not a genocide and that Greek Cypriots are innocent and the absolute victims (there are of course victims within both ethnic/religious groups) has become the accepted view worldwide.

          And Cyprus, my side, the G/C side, the Republic of Cyprus, continues to this day to be a highly right wing state in which a Cypriot identity is very very slowly in these last few years being formed. Many in my family for example actively hate Turks and T/Cs and ID as Greek.

          To understand the psyche of modern G/C culture: One very disturbing story that springs to mind is that a year or so ago a man called in to a radio show to admit/boast about how many T/Cs he had murdered in cold blood. Nobody batted an eyelid, nobody was arrested.

          About a decade ago, the Republic's president was a known murderer (went around G/C villages in the 60s and 70s murdering civilians with a shotgun and boasted about it) — again nobody batted an eyelid nor thought this was a "bad thing".

          Every 5-6 months on Twitter somebody asks me about Cyprus. It's very upsetting but I perform this emotionally-tinged labour because I feel it's important. Yesterday was the 54th anniversary of the UN mission in Cyprus (first and longest in the world):https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/974687363048857600 …

          I would send you to the internet if I could but the "facts" out there are a biased re-telling of events (if not out and out lies).
