I came across a Libyan themed blog recently. It's been around since September 2018, but for some reason I missed it. The blog titled The Colonial History of Libya is described as:
"Libya’s colonial experience was not typical. As one historian posits: “The Ottoman influence in the province in the first two decades of the twentieth century was unusually strong; the Italian colonisation of the province was unusually brutal; the resistance was unusually fierce, and its failure unusually devastating”.
Between 1911 when colonial rule began, and 1951 when an independent Libya was established, more than one million Libyans perished, many of them in concentration camps established by the Italian colonial rulers.
The purpose of this blog is to document the crimes perpetrated by the Italian colonial forces against the Libyan population."
You can find it here: The Colonial History of Libya
I have also added it to my Link List.
This seems like a well researched site! Thanks for sharing!
