Excerpt from Tripoli and Young Italy
I wish to acknowledge the invaluable assistance I have received from Miss Helen Zimmern, whose intimate knowledge of Italy and things Italian, accumulated during twenty-five years' residence here, has been wholly at my service. Her affection for her adopted country is bound less, and is widely appreciated throughout in tellectual circles in Italy. She is especially responsible for the chapter on art and literature.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex reasons behind Italy's declaration of war against the Ottoman Empire in 1911 over the colony of Libya. The author provides valuable historical context, highlighting Italy's urgent need for expansion, the Ottoman Empire's history of exploitation in Libya, and growing international tensions in the region. The book explores the various justifications for Italy's military intervention, including accusations of Turkish atrocities against Italian settlers and ongoing obstruction of legitimate trade interests. It also challenges the perception of Arabs being wholly supportive of the Ottoman regime, presenting evidence of widespread discontent and even appeals to Italy for intervention. Through a meticulous examination of diplomatic correspondence, political speeches, and eyewitness accounts, the author unravels the intricacies of this historical event, shedding new light on the complex interplay of national ambitions and international power dynamics. The book's insights are crucial for understanding the dynamics of colonialism and the tensions that shaped the early 20th century, making it an invaluable read for scholars and anyone interested in the history of the Mediterranean region and international relations.
