First Italo-Senussi War
The First Italo-Senussi War (1911–17) was a conflict between the Kingdom of Italy and the Senussi for control of Libya, primarily in Cyrenaica.[1] It had two main active phases:
- The Italo-Turkish War (1911–12), when Italy invaded Libya, then the Ottoman vilayet of Trâblus Gârb
- The Senussi Campaign (1915–17), part of the First World War, in which Italian and British forces fought the Ottoman- and German-supported Senussi
the Italians ended up recognizing senussi and other state as independent which we can presume as senussi victory but we should point out the senussi loses in the senussi campaign [2]
After a period of relative peace, the Second Italo-Senussi War broke out in 1923 and lasted until 1932.
