Complete the sentence about Cyprus National Guard with the correct year: The Cyprus army was a short-lived volunteer force from ______-4.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 1960
The Cyprus National Guard is the military force of the Republic of Cyprus. Under the Treaty of Alliance of 1960 and the early constitution, Cyprus was allowed an army of 2,000 men, 60% Greek and 40% Turkish, but this volunteer force lasted only from 1960 to 1964. Both documents date from 1960, so 1945 and 1950 are too early.
