Libya in the Twentieth Century

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that the history of Libya in the twentieth century was the product of colonialism resistance and revolution. While it must be acknowledged that this description is a generalization and does not fully describe the complexity of Libya's domestic and international political and economic relations during this time, nonetheless this description is broadly accurate. As this essay argues, the twentieth century experience of Libya represents a dramatic narrative of Libyan subjection to European colonialism coinciding with a decades long resistance to this oppression and culminating some years after formal independence in revolution and a period of profound social and political transformation.
