From 106 BC to 642 AD Libya was under Roman rule. From 642 AD to 1551 AD it was under Arab Islamic rule. Spain invaded Libya in 1551, but lost control of Libya to the Ottomans fairly quickly. they then ruled Libya until 1911, when it became an Italian colony. The Italians then ruled Libya until 1951 when the United Nations ruled that Libya should be independent. So from 1951 Libya became a monarchary under King Idris, who was Libya's first and only monarch. This lasted until 1969 when a coup led by the army officer Muammar Gaddafi took control of the country.
