Italian colonization of Libya
Italian colonization of Libya began in 1911 and lasted until 1943. The country, previously an Ottoman possession, was occupied by Italy in 1911 after the Italo-Turkish War, which resulted in the establishment of two colonies: Italian Tripolitania and Italian Cyrenaica. In 1934, they were unified in the colony of Italian Libya. In 1937 this colony was divided into four provinces, and in 1939 the coastal provinces became part of metropolitan Italy. The colonization lasted until Libya's occupation by Allied forces in 1943, though it was not until the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty that Italy officially renounced all claims to Libyan territory.
