Tripolitania

Geography

Tripolitania otherwise known as ancient Tripoli is located in the sandy coast somewhere along the Mediterranean Sea of Libya. It has two regions; one is situated in the northwestern and northeastern. The former region which is also known as Jefara is plain and near to the ground along Tripolitania’s Mediterranean coast while the latter is elevated and mountainous. What's more is Tripoli is situated in Tripolitania’s Mediterranean coast. At the distant southern part, mountains and limestone hills can be climbed to an elevation of about 2,500 feet. The southern region of Mediterranean is also full of shrubs and bushes. The red sandstone desert where the mountains have blotched with shrubs and bushes, are close to its grounds of the southern part and which stretch out to the plateau of Al Hamara. Last of all, in the eastern region of the plateau joins together into the Jabal as Black Mountains.

History

Arabs are the most citizens of Tripolitania. Historically, the Phoenicians colonized Tripoli in the 17^th century BC then moved to the terrain of Cathaginians. Then it went to Rome after the Punic Wars. This then has included by them as one of their regions. In the 5^th century AD, the Vandals had a triumph over their region. Same is true with Byzantines during the 6^th century and by the Arabs in the 7^th century. But the Normans of Sicily during the 12^th century with liberation and emancipation have set the inhabitants free. However, King Ferdinand V of Castile took into custody and barred the city of Tripoli in 1510 and he took charged of Jerusalem’s ousted Knights of Saint John by Turkish in 1551. Tripolitania in 1912 became component region of Ottoman Empire despite the fact that the sultan’s power was trifling. As a result different European countries showed aggression to Tripoli such as the Italy-Turkish War in 1911.

As a review, ancient Tripoli or Tripolitania with its citizens in northwestern and northeastern regions did not only regain liberation during the early years from different European countries but Italian independence in Tripoli was also renowned and thereby Tripolitania was untaught.
