Ottoman Tripolitania
Also known as Regency of Tripoli, Eyalet of Tripolitania
Ottoman Tripolitania was the Ottoman province centred on Tripoli in what is now Libya, taken from the Knights of St John in 1551. From 1711 to 1835 the Karamanli dynasty ruled it with wide autonomy, before Istanbul restored direct rule. Italy took it in the Italo-Turkish War of 1911–1912.
