   Extractions: Libya The Romans invaded Tripolitania (the region around Tripoli) in 106 BC, and by 64 BC, Julius Caesar's legions had completed the occupation. As a Roman province, Libya was prosperous, reaching a golden age in the 2nd century AD. The three principal Roman cities of Sabratha, Oea and Leptis Magna provided the empire with grain, oil and a supply of slaves and exotic goods from sub-Saharan Africa. The decline of the Roman Empire saw the classical cities fall into ruin, a process hastened by the Vandals' destructive sweep though northern Africa in the 5th century AD. When the Byzantines took over in the 6th century, efforts were made to strengthen the old cities, but it was only a last gasp before they collapsed into disuse. Only Oea, which survives today as Tripoli, the nation's capital, remains a living city. The Arab invasion of the 7th century brought Islam to the country, where it remains firmly entrenched to this day. Arab rule was culturally fruitful, and many examples of early Islamic architecture remain, especially in the oases of the south. The Arabs ruled Libya until the Turks conquered the country in the mid-16th century, administrating it through a succession of locally appointed rulers who levied a toll on every Christian fleet using the Mediterranean. Following the Napoleonic wars, European powers began to colonise northern Africa, and the Turks hastened to strengthen their control of Libya. Their last North African possession, Libya was taken from the Turks by Italy in that country's last-minute bid for colonies in Africa.

   Extractions: History of its Flag and National Anthem When Libya achieved its independance in December 24, 1951 , it used the official name: Al-Mamlaka Al-Libiya Al-Motahidda (The United Kingdom of Libya) a federal system composed of three states: Tripolitania (Tarablus) with its capital Tripoli, Cerinaica (Barka) with its capital Benghazi and Fezzan (Fazzan) with its capital Sabha. The federal government was lead by King Mohammad (Idris) As-Sanousi. During King Idris government Libya had two capitals Tripoli and Benghazi and at one point Al-Baida was the capital. In October 7, 1963 the three Libyan states became one Nation (Libya) and the Libyan official name was changed to: Al-Mamlaka Al-Libiya (The Kingdom of Libya) but still with two capitals Tripoli and Benghazi. From December 24, 1951 till September 1, 1969 the flag on the right was used as the national flag of Libya. In September 1, 1969 (the day of the Libyan revolution) the official name of Libya was changed to: Al-Jamhooriya Al-Arabiya Al-Libiyah (The Libyan Arab Republic.) lead by the Revolutionary Command Council (Majlis Kyiadat Ath-thawra) which was headed by Moaamar Abou-Minyar Al-Qadhafi. From September 1, 1969 till 1970 [when Libya joined the Union of the Arab Republics or Ittihad al-Jomhoriyat al-Arabiya,] the flag on the right was the national flag of Libya. When Libya joined the Union of the Arab Republics [Ittihad al-Jomhoriyat al-Arabiya] the flag of the Union of the Arab Republics [shown on the right] became the official Libyan flag till 11 November 1977 when Libya adopted its own flag.

   Extractions: BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... LIBYA Libya's origins go back to the misty early eras of history. The conquerors of the coastal region included Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Berbers, Romans and Vandals until in the 4th century, the Byzantines claimed the coast. Nomadic tribes in the interior of the country were untouched by the coastal maneuvering. Early on (the 7th and 8th centuries) Islam came to Libya and in the beginning of the 16th century, the Ottomans arrived via their victory over Egypt. The Italians claimed Libya in 1911 but the country was unhappy under Italian control, mounting local resistance to the Italians. During World War II, the British ousted Italian and German forces from Libya (1943), opening the door for King Idris to return in 1944. Though a part of the country was placed under a British protectorate, a smaller portion was given to the French to administer. Independence was achieved in 1951. A mere 8 years later, oil was discovered and Libya went from poverty to great wealth seemingly overnight. In 1969, Muammar al-Qaddafi a colonel in the military, led a coup against the monarchy and established the Libyan Arab Republic. Quickly, nationalization of foreign assets was declared, foreign troops were expelled, foreign cultural centers closed down and Qaddafi claimed absolute powers. The country became a fervent backer of terrorist groups from radical Palestinian entities to European groups. In 1981, US planes shot down attacking Libyan fighters during naval exercises in the Gulf of Sidra, which the world views as international waters and Libya claims as its own. Five years later, sanctions were placed on Libya by the US, and the US government ordered all citizens to leave Libya. Libyan assets were frozen in institutions throughout the US. Libya continued to sponsor terror in Europe and, it is widely believed, sponsored the downing of a Pan Am flight in December 1988. Relations with the US have remained hostile and the US continues to officially cite Libya as a supporter of international terrorism.

[Change image] [Upload image] UNTIL LIBYA ACHIEVED independence in 1951 its history was essentially that of tribes regions and cities and of the empires of which it was a part. Derived from the name by which a single Berber tribe was known to the ancient Egyptians the name Libya was subsequently applied by the Greeks to most of North Africa and the term Libyan to all of its Berber inhabitants. Although ancient in origin these names were not used to designate the specific territory of modern Libya and its people until the twentieth century nor indeed was the whole area formed into a coherent political unit until then. Hence despite the long and distinct histories of its regions modern Libya must be viewed as a new country still developing national consciousness and institutions. Geography was the principal determinant in the separate historical development of Libya's three traditional regions Tripolitania Cyrenaica and Fezzan. Cut off from each other by formidable deserts each retained its separate identity into the 1960s. At the heart of Tripolitania was its metropolis Tripoli for centuries a terminal for caravans plying the Saharan trade routes and a port sheltering pirates and slave traders. Tripolitania's cultural ties were with the Maghrib (see Glossary) of which it was a part geographically and culturally and with which it shared a common history. Tripolitanians developed their political consciousness in reaction to foreign domination and it was from Tripolitania that the strongest impulses came for the unification of modern Libya.

Tripolitania and Cyrenaica had divergent histories for most of the period up to their conquest by the Ottoman Empire in the mid-16th cent. Fazzan In 1711 Ahmad Karamanli, a Janissary, became dey, killed the Ottoman governor, and prevailed upon the Ottomans to name him governor. The post of governor remained hereditary in the Karamanli family until 1835. In the 18th cent. and during the Napoleonic Wars, the dey took in great revenues from the pirates and also extended the central government's control to much of the interior. Tripolitan War ). After 1815, England, France, and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies undertook a successful campaign against the pirates, which undermined the finances of the dey and thus facilitated the reestablishment of direct Ottoman rule in Tripoli in 1835. During the rest of the 19th cent., the Ottomans contributed little toward the political stability or the economic development of Tripoli. Beginning in the 1840s the Sanusi brotherhood gained many adherents, primarily in Cyrenaica but also in S Tripolitania and Fazzan.
