Le récit
The Ottoman Sultan used the setbacks experienced in Algeria to restore Tripolitania and Cyrenaica to direct administration. This policy also helped Constantinople regain political influence in Tunisia, where pro-Ottoman sentiment existed among the elite. Ottoman sovereignty therefore formed an important regional framework before the European partition of North Africa.
Tripolitania came under Italian attack in 1911 after the Young Turk Revolution had weakened the Ottoman state and Italy received diplomatic encouragement from Britain and France. Ottoman and local forces resisted the invasion around Tripoli, Benghazi, Homs, Tobruk, Derna, and al-Khums. Although Italy captured the main cities, resistance limited its effective control.
The Lausanne Agreement of 18 October 1912 forced Turkey to withdraw from Libya’s political struggle. The treaty granted independence to the Libyan people in order to preserve Ottoman standing in the Islamic world, while Italy promised to withdraw from Turkish waters. The excerpt emphasizes that Libyans themselves were not consulted and that their responses to the settlement were divided.
