Because Italy was a fresh kingdom they were Just United
and they wanted to expand the Kingdom to other Lands like other European Nation .
so they invade Ethiopia Eritrea Somalia and Libia that's from Africa only we’re not speaking about other European Lands which Italy have invaded !
And that time Libya was the Only north African country which is not Invaded yet by any other European nation and it was still an Ottoman Land and the Ottoman Empire was weak and in it's last days and Italy wanted to make !
so they took the chance they invaded it in 1911 after italo-turca (war) the turks withdrawal and let Libyans to resistance and it was before the Fascism time !
it was in 1911
Italians made horrible crimes and Massacres specially during the Dictatorship time of Italy and the fascist time when Mussolini sent Graziani to Libya he killed 300,000 person of Libya and he made the several concentration and labor camps where he killed many Libyans!
and Libyans were only 900,000 person that time !
Sadly non of the countries teach the right History every one change and hide the truth.
whatever it's the government
and the same we can Blame Libya for it's to force the Italians and Libyans(Jews) out of the country in 1970 most of those Italians were normal Civilians and many of them were born and raised there in Libya so it's his country and no one have the right to force him to leave and they force them to leave their stuff so they were leaving and they lost their lives also !
until the 2004 they were give a permission to go back to see their properties and places now most of them died or Aged !
sure we won't Blame normal Libyans for that also !
x sheerkh: why did Libya Invade Chad ?
Answer:
The war between Italy and the Ottoman Empire in 1911 is one of the last episodes in the colonial race of the European powers. Italy and Germany, both late comers due to their unification (186o and 1870), had their eyes on North Africa in order to wrest the control of trade in the Mediterranean, where Britain and France reigned supreme. France had just beaten the Italians to Tunis, which had a high Italian population, so Italy activated a lively diplomatic activity in order to assure allies, like Russia and Austria (possible second front in the Balkans – which followed in 1913) and French (firmly entrenched in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia) and British neutrality (Egyptian interests). Once assured, on the pretext of defending Italian citizens menaced by the Turks in Cyrenaica, Italy declared war and invaded. The outcome of a modern, well armed European force against an outdated Turkish army, was considered a foregone conclusion. The Turks, however rallied, fought well and forced the Italians into a brutal retaliation, with a number of civilian casualties. The “Lybians”, a small subject nation of the Turks, opted for guerrilla warfare, even after the subsequent peace treaty, which bespoke Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, together with the Aegean Greek islands to Italy. Quite a bleak and unfortunate chapter in Italian colonial history, even if the casualty “figures” conjured up recently on the “Lybian” side are wildly exaggerated. It’s no excuse, obviously, but the Italian coast had been subject to continuous “Saracen” raids from North Africa for centuries, with very real and documented casualties, slaves and destruction. History cannot be undone, but it should also not be an instrument of continuous retaliatory requests, after all “Italy” could pull ancient scrolls out and “claim” damages from half of Europe and North Africa.
Answer:
coz of a mad dictator mosolini and before him
italy claimed libya was a 4th coast based on historical roman empire territories (which ruled most of the world some time inc uk)
they wanted expansion and solving economic difficulties
the war crimes and crimes against humanity and massacares were not exagerated. that is an insult to a holocaust when mossilinin wiped half the libyans population
and started some of the 1st conc camps, killing civillians, raping, torching land, displacing thousands forcefullu to italy etc..
he used tanks in desert for first time and first air raid bombardment was on a town south of Tripoli
libyans resisted bravely with whatever they’d
omar mokhtar was a legendry 70 years old rebel leader
eventually italians settled in some outposts until they were removed from libya by allies in WWII who were helped by libyans in the tough terraiin and sahara
the battle for libya was pivotal in final allies victory
italian army was never well equipped or trained and always called assistance from natives of ethipia and other colonies
Recently, Italian primier officially apologised to Libyan people and settlements and compensation was concurred
reconcilliation is now official and both countries and people should look to fruitful mutual beneficial future
Answer:
perchè mussolini considerava la libia un luogo dove poter mandare a lavorare i disoccupati italiani, inoltre voleva anche lui come le altre grandi nazioni europee avere delle colonie.
translation:
