EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Custom House in Tripoli, Libya, during the pivotal moment of the Italo-Turkish War in 1911-12. The Italian flag proudly flies above the building, replacing the Turkish flag that once symbolized Ottoman rule in the region. The Italo-Turkish War began in September 1911, when Italy launched an invasion of Libya, then a Turkish territory. The conflict arose from Italy's desire to expand its colonial empire in North Africa and the Mediterranean. The looming threat of the First Balkan War, which was brewing among the Balkan states against the Ottoman Empire, forced Turkey to make peace. By the Treaty of Ouchy, signed on 15 October 1912, Turkey ceded Libya, along with the Dodecanese Islands and the island of Rhodes, to Italy. This scene on the bustling Tripoli street represents the culmination of Italy's successful military campaign and the beginning of its colonial rule in Libya. The Arab population of Libya, who had long lived under Ottoman rule, now faced a new ruler and the challenges of living under Italian colonial administration. The Italians implemented racial policies, which discriminated against the Arab population and favored Italian settlers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical and cultural shifts that occurred during this period in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, as European powers jostled for territorial gains and the fates of millions were altered irrevocably.
