The Italo-Turkish War (1911-1912) was a conflict where Italy, seeking new colonies to compete with major European powers, seized Libya from the Ottoman Empire after issuing an ultimatum on September 26, 1911; despite initial military success and local resistance organized by Ottoman commanders, the war lasted about a year and ended with Italy gaining control of Libya, partly due to the outbreak of the Balkan Wars forcing the Ottoman Empire to sign a peace treaty.

Italo-Turkish War.
In the 20th century, Italy sought new colonies to avoid falling behind the major European powers. Ultimately, they decided to seize Libya, which was under the control of the Ottoman Empire.
Following this, Italy, with the support of the United Kingdom and France, issued an ultimatum to the Ottoman Empire on September 26th, 1911. The Ottoman Empire did not accept the ultimatum, and the war began. The Italians quickly landed troops in Libya and seized control of the coastline. Since the Ottoman Empire was not in a position to send troops there, it sent some of its most important commanders to organize the local population.
The war lasted about a year, and with the outbreak of the Balkan Wars, the Ottoman Empire was forced to sign a peace treaty ceding Libya to Italy.
