Best Answer

ITALY was the primary colonizer of Libya, taking the territory in 1911 from the Ottoman Turks, who had governed the territory as the Tripolitania Eyelet since 1517. However, the borders of Libya away from the coast (the southwestern, southern, and southeastern borders) were not officially set during the colonial period. As a result, some of the territory that is part of Libya today was part of British-occupied Egypt or French-occupied Algeria or Chad during the colonial period.
