| Summary/Abstract |
Throughout its history, Cyprus has proven to be something of a political enigma. It had been inhabited by Greeks since the second millennium BC. They sometimes called it Aphrodite's island, because according to Greek mythology, the goddess was born near the city of Paphos, having risen from the sea foam of the Mediterranean.
Due to its strategic location, the island was occupied by several major powers over the centuries: by the Romans, later by the Byzantines (becoming part of the Byzantine Empire), by Arabs, the Crusaders, the Venetians, and in 1570 by the Ottomans. In 1878 the Ottomans leased the island to the British, in 1914 the British Empire formally annexed Cyprus, and in 1925 Cyprus was declared a British crown colony. It remained under the British rule until 1960, when, after a difficult struggle, Cyprus attained its independence.

India has a vast coast line and has a rich maritime history which dates back to pre-Harappa period. By virtue of lndia's geographical location on the global map and specifically its strategic location in the Indian Ocean, makes India a subcontinent in itself. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are a group of islands located east of India in the Bay of Bengal, and possess a wide area of thick dense forest and white beaches. Although little is known about the islands during the ancient period, but there is evidence to suggest that these islands have been inhabited for more than three thousand years.
