Ahmed Rasim Ali's rule over Tripoli, Libya (1881–1896)

Abstract

During the late nineteenth century, the Ottoman Empire attempted to consolidate its control over the Tripoli Vilayet in the face of growing European influence، particularly Italian influence. The province was plagued by corruption and internal conflicts. When Ahmed Rasim arrived in the Tripoli Vilayet, his primary mission was to consolidate Ottoman control and reform the internal situation.

This study examines the tenure of Ahmed Rasim، focusing on the problems he encountered and the achievements he made in various fields.

The importance of this study lies in the personality of Ahmed Rasim، the most important challenges facing his rule، and the difficult period of time due to the colonial rivalry.

• Ahmed Rasim's reign (1881-1896 AD)
• The problems facing Ahmed Rasim.
