Although the British soon suspect Makarios of being a leading figure in Grivas' terrorist organization, the archbishop prefers political bargaining to force, negotiating with the British governor in 1955-56.
British jurist Lord Radcliffe, among others, suggests self-government in 1956, but all of the proposals are rejected, and the attacks continue.
When the talks prove fruitless and Makarios is arrested for sedition in March 1956 and deported to the Seychelles, the guerrillas inaugurate a reign of terror.
