Libya: History of its Flag and National Anthem When Libya achieved its independance in December 24, 1951 , it used the official name: Al-Mamlaka Al-Libiya Al-Motahidda (The United Kingdom of Libya) a federal system composed of three states: Tripolitania (Tarablus) with its capital Tripoli, Cerinaica (Barka) with its capital Benghazi and Fezzan (Fazzan) with its capital Sabha. The federal government was lead by King Mohammad (Idris) As-Sanousi. During King Idris government Libya had two capitals Tripoli and Benghazi and at one point Al-Baida was the capital. In October 7, 1963 the three Libyan states became one Nation (Libya) and the Libyan official name was changed to: Al-Mamlaka Al-Libiya (The Kingdom of Libya) but still with two capitals Tripoli and Benghazi. From December 24, 1951 till September 1, 1969 the flag on the right was used as the national flag of Libya. In September 1, 1969 (the day of the Libyan revolution) the official name of Libya was changed to: Al-Jamhooriya Al-Arabiya Al-Libiyah (The Libyan Arab Republic.) lead by the Revolutionary Command Council (Majlis Kyiadat Ath-thawra) which was headed by Moaamar Abou-Minyar Al-Qadhafi. From September 1, 1969 till 1970 [when Libya joined the Union of the Arab Republics or Ittihad al-Jomhoriyat al-Arabiya,] the flag on the right was the national flag of Libya. When Libya joined the Union of the Arab Republics [Ittihad al-Jomhoriyat al-Arabiya] the flag of the Union of the Arab Republics [shown on the right] became the official Libyan flag till 11 November 1977 when Libya adopted its own flag.

Fazzan In 1711 Ahmad Karamanli, a Janissary, became dey, killed the Ottoman governor, and prevailed upon the Ottomans to name him governor.

After 1815, England, France, and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies undertook a successful campaign against the pirates, which undermined the finances of the dey and thus facilitated the reestablishment of direct Ottoman rule in Tripoli in 1835.

[Add Section] Map View Enlargement History [edit this] [Upload image] Until Lybia achieved indipendence in 1951, its history was essentially that of tribes regions and cities and of the empires of which it was a part. Derived from the name by which a single Berber tribe was known to the ancient Egyptians the name Libya was subsequently applied by the Greeks to most of North Africa and the term Libyan to all of its Berber inhabitants. Although ancient in origin these names were not used to designate the specific territory of modern Libya and its people until the twentieth century nor indeed was the whole area formed into a coherent political unit until then. Hence despite the long and distinct histories of its regions modern Libya must be viewed as a new country still developing national consciousness and institutions. Geography was the principal determinant in the separate historical development of Libya's three traditional regions Tripolitania Cyrenaica and Fezzan. Cut off from each other by formidable deserts each retained its separate identity into the 1960s. At the heart of Tripolitania was its metropolis Tripoli for centuries a terminal for caravans plying the Saharan trade routes and a port sheltering pirates and slave traders. Tripolitania's cultural ties were with the Maghrib (see Glossary) of which it was a part geographically and culturally and with which it shared a common history. Tripolitanians developed their political consciousness in reaction to foreign domination and it was from Tripolitania that the strongest impulses came for the unification of modern Libya.
