Like many other countries as they
develop, their boundaries will change. This is typically due to the change in
rule or being overtaken by another country. The same goes for Libya. Before
Libya was what it is today, parts of the nation was ruled by the French,
Italians, English, and Egypt. The nation was split up with a different country
controlling it and claiming it. In 1937, there was a meeting that moved some of
the boundaries of Libya. Until December 24, 1951, Libya was under the control
of France and the United Kingdom. [1] The Egypto–Italian agreement of 1926 had made
definite borders for Libya, prior to their independence.
The oil supply found in Libya has
caused the organization of the nation to readjust. Libya is one of the largest
oil suppliers of the world, therefore national help is needed in specific
countries to insure the stability of the production. The oil industry has
caused the country to work in a way that will allow the oil to be produced efficiently
and effectively.[2]
Not only has the oil industry changed the way that the country works, but it
has also changed its identity in the world.
As stated before, the oil was not
found in Libya until the late 1900s. When there was peace with and within the
country of Libya, there was more than plenty of oil being produced. However, in
more recent years, there has been rebellion and fighting of Libyans with each other
and other countries. This has negatively affected the production of oil by a
vast amount. This lack of oil production caused strained importing and
exporting relationships with those that used to buy oil from Libya. In some
instances, due to the lack of production, some plants were shut down. This affected
Libyan’s employment rate and Libyan day to day life.[4]
