(Open by positioning the war as a critical, yet forgotten, precursor to greater conflicts)
Fought from 1911 to 1912, the Italo-Turkish War was a dramatic colonial conflict where the young Kingdom of Italy challenged the crumbling Ottoman Empire for control of Libya (Tripolitania and Cyrenaica). While often overshadowed by the World War that followed, this conflict was a proving ground for aerial bombing, mechanized warfare, and nationalist insurgency—a deadly preview of 20th-century combat.
This documentary examines Italy's imperial ambitions, the Ottoman Empire's desperate defense, and the fierce resistance of Libyan tribesmen. We cover the naval bombardments, the first-ever use of airplanes in combat, the brutal guerrilla war in the desert, and the war's startling conclusion that stripped the Ottomans of their last African lands and inspired the Balkan League to attack.
