After Harding’s failure, Sir Hugh Foot became Governor of Cyprus in December 1957, aiming for reconciliation and proposing the Foot Plan. This included a 5–7 year interim period, the end of emergency measures, Makarios’s return, and negotiations for self-government. A final decision on the island’s future would require consent from both communities. Despite Foot’s efforts, Turkey firmly rejected the plan. Ankara excluded him from key talks, and his warnings to London about the political deadlock went unheeded. The plan was eventually abandoned, without Cypriot input. Britain’s strategy remained focused on gaining Turkish support rather than meeting Greek Cypriot demands.

After Harding’s failure, Sir Hugh Foot became Governor of Cyprus in December 1957, aiming for reconciliation and proposing the Foot Plan. This included a 5–7 year interim period, the end of emergency measures, Makarios’s return, and negotiations for self-government. A final decision on the island’s future would require consent from both communities. Despite Foot’s efforts, Turkey firmly rejected the plan. Ankara excluded him from key talks, and his warnings to London about the political deadlock went unheeded. The plan was eventually abandoned, without Cypriot input. Britain’s strategy remained focused on gaining Turkish support rather than meeting Greek Cypriot demands.
