Notlar	Aims: This study aimed to analyze the strategic importance of the island of Cyprus in the context of regional and international conflicts in the Mediterranean basin. The study also aimed to highlight the historical ambitions of the major powers to control the island as a vital pivotal point influencing the balance of power in the region. The study also examined the dimensions of the British-Turkish-Greek rivalry over Cyprus and its geopolitical implications. Methodology: The study adopted the historical analytical approach, tracing the developments in political and military control over the island of Cyprus, referring to relevant international agreements and historical sources, and analyzing the positions of regional and international powers from a strategic perspective that links the island's geographical location with its military and commercial importance. Results: The study showed that the island of Cyprus has had increasing importance since the late nineteenth century, especially after Britain gained control of it from the Ottoman Empire, granting it significant maritime influence in the Eastern Mediterranean. The study also demonstrated that the island's location made it a focus of conflict, both as a platform for controlling trade routes and as a strategic military base capable of threatening the maritime interests of surrounding powers. Furthermore, Turkey later realized this importance, prompting it to intervene militarily and confront Greek influence on the island. Conclusions: The study concluded that Cyprus was not just an island in the Mediterranean, but represented a location of utmost strategic importance throughout its history, making it a hotbed of regional and international competition. Moreover, its geopolitical position remained a focus of conflict among surrounding powers, reflecting its continued vital role in the region's security and control equations.
