Cihâd-ı Ekber Bağlamında I. Dünya Savaşı’nda Libya’da Türk-Alman-İtalyan Faaliyetleri ve Senûsî Direnişi

The Ottoman Empire withdrew from Libya with the signing of the Ouchy Treaty in October 1912. The Jihad Declaration, which was proclaimed in November 1914, was read in mosques in Libya and other regions. Italy was initially excluded from the scope of jihad. In August 1915, the Italia declared war against the Ottoman Empire. Although the jihad activities made the Italians uneasy in Libya at the beginning, they could not change the course of the war. In this work, we focus on the jihad propaganda in Libya during the war years, the Turkish– Sennusi alliance, and the French–British counter activities. Specifically, this work covers the period of 1915–1918. It is also based on Turkish and French archives, as well as newspapers and research works.
