After gaining independence in 1951, Libya experienced a period of relative stability and development under King Idris I, who focused on modernizing the country and utilizing its oil wealth. However, dissatisfaction with the monarchy's governance and socio-economic disparities led to a coup in 1969, when Muammar Gaddafi seized power. Gaddafi's rule brought significant changes, including nationalization of industries and a shift towards a more authoritarian regime. While oil revenues initially boosted the economy, political repression and international isolation later characterized Libya's trajectory until Gaddafi's overthrow in 2011.
