Libyan Period

The Libyan Period refers to the era when Libya was under the influence or control of various powers, notably during Mussolini’s colonization from 1911 to 1943, and later as an Italian colony. It involved significant infrastructure development but also oppressive policies. Post-World War II, Libya gained independence in 1951, transitioning from colonization to a sovereign nation. The term can also encompass subsequent phases of political change, including Gaddafi’s rule from 1969 to 2011. Overall, it reflects Libya’s historical journey through colonization, independence, and modern political shifts.
