Imperialism in Libya! Jason Matt Megan

Motivation for Imperialism The Italians invaded Libya October 3, 1911, attacking Tripoli, a province in Libya. They claimed to be liberating Libya from the Ottoman Empire. Libya, consisted of two provinces under the Ottoman Empire: Tripolitania and Cyrenaica. The battle lasted from September 29, 1911 to October 18,1912 Italian Soldiers looking over dead Libyan soldiers.

How Did They Gain Control? Despite the face that the Libyans were revolting against the Italians, the Ottoman Empire gave up Libya. The Ottoman Sultan handed over Libya by signing the 1912 Treaty of Lausanne. From 1912 to 1927, territory known as Italian North Africa. In , the territory was split into two colonies; Italian Cyrenaica and Italian Tripolitania. They were run by Italian governors. A Libyan fighter being arrested by fascists.

The Extent of Their Control In 1934, they adopted the name Libya. During their control, Tripoli was under control by 1914, however two other regions (Cyrenaica and Fezzan) were home to rebellions led by the Senussis. The Senussi (Sanussi) is a Muslim political- religious order in Libya and other places, founded in Mecca in 1837.

The Positive Effects of Imperialism on Libyans Improved infrastructure Cultivated new farm lands from the deserts 400 km of railroads 4,000 km of new roads Italy is now paying Libya 5 billion dollars for occupying the Libyan’s lands

Libya gains Independence After Italy was defeated in World War II, Libya was taken by both Britain and France in 1943 Italy renounces its claim on Libya in 1947 Libya’s goal was to become independent before the start of 1952 After 8 years of ruling from Britain and France, Libya declares it’s independence on December 24 th, 1951 Omar Mukhtar – The leader of the rebels against Italy until he was executed in 1931
