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 Zanzibar The Battle of Zanzibar took place between the German "Kaiserliche Marine" and the British Royal Navy early in the First World War of 1914-1918. The German cruiser SMS "Königsberg" , while taking on coal in the delta of the Rufiji River (German East Africa), learned that a British cruiser—HMS "Pegasus" , which had been part of the Royal Navy's Cape Squadron sent to counter "Königsberg"—had put in at Zanzibar for repairs. "Königsberg"′s captain—Commander Max Looff—decided to attack "Pegasus" while she was in port.
