Libya celebrates its Independence Day on December 24th. On this day in 1951, Libya gained independence from Italian colonial rule. Before that, Libya had been an Italian colony since the early 20th century.
After World War II, the United Nations granted Libya the status of a United Nations trust territory, and in 1951, it became the Kingdom of Libya. The country achieved full sovereignty and independence with the withdrawal of Italian forces.
Libya has faced various political and social challenges in the years following its independence, including changes in government and leadership.
