Cleveland Libyan Feedback and Memories

Libyan History and Culture

Berbers have inhabited central north Africa since ancient times, but the region has been settled and ruled by Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Vandals.

The Italians supplanted the Ottoman Turks in the area around Tripoli in 1911, but relinquished their hold in 1943, when they were defeated in World War II. Libya then passed to UN administration and achieved independence in 1951.
