Notes:
– While Egypt, Cyprus, and Crete were in theory/legally Ottoman possessions, in reality they were not controlled by them. Egypt and Cyprus were British controlled while Crete was an independent republic at the time in defiance of the Ottomans.
– The border between Senussi and Ottoman control is very fluid and complicated, so I went with the approximately accepted administrative borders.

  1. this is the pure definition of "win the fight, lose the battle"
    Italy had no chance againist Ottoman Empire if İttihat-Terakki government didn't just gave Libya.

  2. Ottoman fleet didn't even join the war due to its condition. Officers including Mustafa Kemâl Atatürk arrived Libya using an illegal path through British Egypt. Despite the technological superiority, we didn't actually lose the war on the front. We had to cede our territories including Dodecanese (which had a significant Turkish population) owing to Italian navy.

  3. Did you seriously make an entire quiz, video and stream about the preferred border of tripolitania just so you could choose a map for a video💀? Not to mention it's almost completely cut off so it didn't really matter💀💀🥐
