Cyprus Dispute The Cyprus Dispute is a conflict between Greece and Turkey over Cyprus , an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean Sea . Since the arrival of the British on the island of Cyprus , the " Cyprus Dispute " was identified as the conflict between the people of Cyprus and the United Kingdom as a colonial ruler . The core of the dispute was the Cypriots ' demand for self - determination . Britain shifted the " Cyprus Dispute " from a colonial dispute to a dispute between Turks and Greeks although Britain had denounced the agreement between itself and Turkey over Cyprus , and declared Cyprus as a British colony . Today , the problem has involved Turkey , Greece , the United Kingdom , the United States , the United Nations and the European Union . In 1974 , Turkey invaded Cyprus and 37 % of the island ended up under Turkish military occupation . Later the Turkish Cypriot community declared its independence as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus . The United Nations buffer zone which cuts across the country has created a physical and social barrier between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities and also separates the government - controlled south from the Turkish military - occupied north , which has been condemned by UN Security Council Resolutions as legally invalid . Currently it is recognised only by Turkey .

Fifteenth Army ( Japan ) The was an army of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II . History . The Japanese 15th Army was formed on November 9 , 1941 as a component of the Southern Expeditionary Army Group for the specific task of invading the British colony of Burma . To do this the army , then based in Indo - China needed to transit through Thailand . On December 8 , 1941 the 33rd and 55th Divisions of the army spearheaded by the Imperial Guard invaded Thailand overland from what is now Cambodia . The invasion was supported by landings on the coast to the south of Bangkok by the armys 143rd Infantry Regiment . Fighting lasted only a few hours before the Thai government ceded access . Under Lieutenant General Shōjirō Iida , the IJA 15th Army invaded the southern Burmese province of Tenasserim . The Fifteenth Army consisted initially of the highly regarded 33rd Infantry Division and the 55th Infantry Division . The latter attacked from northern Thailand , which had signed a treaty of friendship with Japan on December 21 , 1941 . The 15th Army quickly advanced through southern Burma , defeating the British and Indian Burma Army in several engagements , and capturing the capital of Rangoon by March 7 , 1942 . The Army was reinforced by troops released by the Fall of Singapore and drove northwards into central Burma , defeating the British Burma Corps and the Chinese forces , ultimately driving the Allies from Burma . During the following year , the Army remained as a garrison force in Burma , defeating an Allied offensive in Arakan and inflicting heavy casualties on a long - range penetration raid under Orde Wingate . In 1944 , the Fifteenth Army became part of the Burma Area Army . Lieutenant General Iida was posted back to Japan and Lieutenant General Renya Mutaguchi took command . He forcefully advocated an offensive against British India . The offensive , Operation U - Go , was launched in March . As a result of poor logistics and Mutaguchi ' s underestimation of the difficulties , the Fifteenth Army was almost destroyed in the Battle of Imphal and the Battle of Kohima . Mutaguchi , his Chief of Staff , and several other officers were removed in the aftermath , and Lieutenant General Shihachi Katamura as assigned to command . As the monsoon season ended , the remnants of the Fifteenth Army attempted to forestall an Allied offensive into Burma by withdrawing behind the Irrawaddy River . They were unable to prevent British and Indian troops from securing bridgeheads across the river , and the army was weakened by losses and detachments to other parts of the front . Once Mandalay was captured , the Fifteenth Army could only retreat southwards , badly disorganised . The remnants of the Fifteenth Army were later absorbed as a subsidiary unit of the 18th Area Army . The 15th Army was demobilized at Lampang Province , Thailand on the surrender of Japan in 1945 .
