Libya is now called Libya.
Libya, referred to as "Libya" for short, is a country in North Africa, located on the southern bank of the Mediterranean Sea, adjacent to Egypt, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Algeria and Tunisia. The land area is 1.76 million square kilometers and the population is 7.1 million (222). Libya is mainly composed of Arabs and Berbers, divided into 22 provinces and 3 regions.
in the 3rd century BC, Libyans established a unified kingdom of Numidia in their struggle against the rule of Carthage. In the 7th century, Arabs defeated Byzantines and conquered Berbers, bringing Arab culture and Islam. In the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire captured Tripoli and cyrenaica and took control of the coastal areas.
in p>1912, Libya became an Italian colony. After World War II, the United Nations exercised jurisdiction over Libya. In 1951, Libya declared its independence and established the federal United Kingdom of Libya, which was later renamed the Kingdom of Libya. However, in 1969, the "Freedom Officer Organization" headed by Gaddafi staged a coup, overthrew the Idris dynasty and established the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. Subsequently, the name of the country was changed many times, and it was finally named Libya.
