On December 24, 1951 Libya gained its independence from Italy. They won their Independence after World War 2. They were allies with Italy and fought with them to the very end. Then Italy decided, since they were a major help during the war, to give them their independence. King Idris led the push for independence for Libya. Then Libya discovered a large Oil Reserve and petroleum, so Libya then became a rich country, but it was still a monarchy so the money went to King Idris and the royal families.
