A Brief Video on Libya's History



It's OK not to know something and I am the first to confess, I know little about Libya's history beyond Omar Al Mukhtar and Qaddafi. There is so much history there in recorded and pre history Libya seemed like a pit stop for most historically significant events.

The Italians tried to subdue the country and they succeeded for a while, but the toll was high too high. The tribes and the city dwellers liberated their country and won their Independence in 1951 until Qaddafi came to the picture in 1969 ousted the King of Libya Idris.

The video is in Arabic, but there is English subtitle.
