Yes pre World War 2
Libya is under the dictator Mohmmed Gadaffi.
Gaddafi was born in the city of Sirt, when Libya was still under Italian control.
Britain had to begin a massive mobilization of forces in the Mediterranean and Africa. The countries of Libya and Ethiopia were under Italian control and Britain had to send ships into the Med to protect Malta from Italy's fleet.
Egypt and Libya were part of the Persian Empire.
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.
No. It was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1911 when it became part of the Italian Empire. After WW2 it was a sovereign state. However, following Italy's defeat in WW2 - this was, for a time, under British Control.
Libya was not a direct Axis victory during World War II, but it was a significant battleground between Axis and Allied forces. Initially, Axis powers, particularly Italy and Germany, gained control over parts of Libya, using it as a strategic base in North Africa. However, following a series of Allied offensives, including the successful Operation Torch in 1942, control shifted back to the Allies, marking a crucial turning point in the North African campaign. Ultimately, Libya did not remain under Axis control, leading to their defeat in the region.
Italy and france was not an Eastern European nation that was under communist control
Currently there are no states under the direct control of France. In the past Spain, the Confederation of the Rhine, Warsaw, Switzerland, Italy and Naples have all been under France's control.
In the early 1900s, North Africa was primarily under European colonial control. France dominated Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, while Italy occupied Libya. Additionally, Egypt was under British control, although it was nominally part of the Ottoman Empire. The region experienced significant political and social changes during this period due to European imperialism.
Italy, Spain, France, West Germany, and the United Kingdom were all major nations who were not Eastern European countries and not under communist control.
In the late 1930s, Italy, under the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, controlled several territories. This included Libya, which had been an Italian colony since 1911, and parts of East Africa such as Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. Additionally, Italy invaded and occupied Albania in 1939, further expanding its influence in the Balkans. The Italian Empire also included territories in the Dodecanese Islands, which were under Italian control since the Italo-Turkish War of 1911-1912.
