[00:00:00]Italo-Turkish War.

[00:00:01]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.

[00:00:12]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.

[00:00:37]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.
