Benefits and advantages on colonization

 The Italian government spent a lot of time and resources into building and running schools throughout the country. This was important to spread the Italian language and the Italian culture. Italy also provided primary, secondary and trade school in order to further education. Advances in higher education and training had a direct effect on industry and modern development of Libya. 

There were benefits to being colonized. Modern technology was accessible due to an open seaport and later lead to a wealthy government. Moving goods and services out of the country has brought huge revenues into the country of Libya. The governments investment in transportation, education, housing and medicine has improved the lives of the Libyan citizens.

Culture

The colonization made Libya lost their own culture and identity, when Italy colony get to them they had to go though Italian superpowers to their rules. The cultural impacts in Libya of the colonization of Italy were plenty, and one of the most significant was the language, in libya they spoke English but their nation’s official dialect was Arabic. The people of Libya had to bear with cruelty. As any other European colonialist powers, the colonization of Italy brought up also concentration camp where they were destined to kill Libyans and more than 100,00 people ended in where many thousands died in squalid condition. 

A great amount of culture was lost when the Mussolini wanted to incorporate Italy and Libya as one.

Geography

After Italy attacked Tripoli, Ottoman sultan ceded Libya to the Italians by signing the 1912 Treaty of Lausanne living Italy at the command. At Ottoman living Italy their empire the European Country with a huge part of libya into their hands.But it was until 1930s the kingdom of italy took full control of the area Ottoman province. By the colonization Italy in 1934 was that the name Libya was given to the Italian colony because before t the Greeks had called all of North Africa besides Egypt. Libya became an Italy colony and Italians made extensive use of the Savari. Several reorganizations of the colonial authority were made necessary, in the face of armed Arab opposition, mainly in Cyrenaica. From 1919 (17 May) to 1929 (24 January), the Italian government maintained the two traditional provinces, with separate colonial administrations. The Italians seized control of the coast cities, but they hadgreat difficulties maintaining control of the interior.

The newly created "Libya" was divided administratively into four provinces, Tripoli, Misrata, Benghazi, and Derna. The Fezzan area was called Territorio Sahara Libico and administered militarily in 1934.

The Italian governor Marshal of the Air Force Italo Balbo promoted the birth of the modern state of "Libya", and until 1940 favoured the integration of Italian emigrants to Libya with the Arab population.

Economy of Libya

In 1936, the main sectors of economic activity in Italian Libya (by number of employees) were industry (30.4%), public administration (29.8%), agriculture and fishing (16.7%), commerce (10.7%), transports (5.8%), domestic work (3.8%), legal profession and private teaching (1.3%), banking and insurance (1.1%)

The Libyan economy  grew in the late 1930s, mainly in the agricultural sector. Even some manufacturing activities were developed, mostly related to the food industry. Building construction increased in a huge way. Furthermore, the Italians made modern medical care available for the first time in Libya and improved sanitary conditions in the towns. They were able to do that because of the economic improvement of Libya after colonization. 

 By 1939, the Italians had built 400 kilometres (250 mi) of new railroads and 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi) of new roads. The most important and largest highway project was the Via Balbo, an east-west coastal route connecting Tripoli in western Italian Tripolitania to Tobruk in eastern Italian Cyrenaica. Most of these projects and achievements were completed between 1934 and 1940 when Italo Balbo was governor of Italian Libya.The last railway development in Libya done by the Italians was the Tripoli-Benghazi line that was started in 1941 and was never completed because of the Italian defeat during World War II.

Libyan colonization

          The Italians have been interacting with Libya through education for many years. In 1810 Franciscan missionaries established a school on the coastal town of Tripoli and taught there for many years. The Italians colonized Libya by conquering the Ottoman empire. On October 3, 1911 the Italians attacked Tripoli liberating Libya from the Ottoman empire. The Italians looked at Libya as the only bit of North Africa left to colonize. They saw the Ottoman Turks as a weak people. Libya was close to Italy and was an ideal place to colonize with a Mediterranean coast.

 

The empires that were taking over were motivated by power and land and more important would be the seaports. The seaports provide access for ship to arrive and trade. From 1911 to 1934 the Italians had a big interest in Libya who was, at the time, controlled by the Ottoman Empire. Italy saw Libya as being close to home and had a valuable Mediterranean coast. This coastline provided easy access to other colonies and produced free trade.
