==Information==
Libya is a country in Africa bordered by [[Tunisia Genealogy|Tunisia]], [[Egypt Genealogy|Egypt]], [[Sudan Genealogy|Sudan]], [[Chad Genealogy|Chad]], [[Niger Genealogy|Niger]], and [[Algeria Genealogy|Algeria]]. The official language is Arabic.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Libya," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya, accessed 27 April 2016.</ref> About 90% of the country today is considered desert or semi desert.


Libya was ruled in parts by empires, such as the Roman Empire and [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Empire], and tribes. In the 20th century, the Ottoman Empire ceded power of Lebanon over to [[Italy Genealogy|Italy]] and the region remained under Italian rule from 1911-1943. From 1943-1951, Britain and France ruled Libya. Independence was not declared until 1951, by King Idris I. Libya became an Arab Republic after Muammar Gaddafi dethroned the king. He ruled until 2011 when he was killed during conflicts across the country known as the Arab Spring.
