October Revolution

The negation of England to satisfy the request for unification with Greece in combination with the bad financial state of the Cypriots during English domination, were the main reasons for the October Revolution in October 1931. During the rebellion, according to Demos Vyronos, “the inhabitants of Agios Ambrosios disarmed the policemen and blocked the road from Limassol to Platres”.

The revolution failed and the colonial government arrested, tortured and punished many people. Demos Vyronos mentions that: “after the rebellion of 1931 (some people from Agios Ambrosios) were arrested and transferred to Limassol, where English and Turkish troops tortured them”. The inhabitants of Agios Ambvrosios that took part in October Revolution are:
