Italian cruiser Agordat: provided gunfire support when which empire and kingdom fought?
Italo-Turkish War The Italo-Turkish or Turco-Italian War (Turkish: "Trablusgarp Savaşı" , "Tripolitanian War"; also known in Italy as "Guerra di Libia", "Libyan War") was fought between the Kingdom of Italy and the Ottoman Empire from September 29, 1911, to October 18, 1912. As a result of this conflict, Italy captured the Ottoman Tripolitania Vilayet (province), of which the main sub-provinces ("sanjaks") were Fezzan, Cyrenaica, and Tripoli itself. These territories together formed what became known as Italian Libya.
Battle of Serobeti The Battle of Serobeti took place on June 26, 1892 and was fought between Italy and Mahdist Sudan. The incident took place when one-thousand Mahdist warriors entered Italian Eritrea and were driven back by an Italian-led force of 120 ascari and 200 Baria tribe warriors. In all, Italian losses were three dead and ten wounded, while the Mahdists suffered around one-hundred killed and wounded. Author Sean McLachlan blames the Mahdists' "inferior weaponry and fire discipline" for their defeat at Serobeti and the preceding First Battle of Agordat (1890).
