After WW2 there were several proposals what should happen to Libya. The two main parts,
Cyrenaica and Tripolitania had different identities and Libya was not a natural unity. During the first decades, Libya was a monarchy with Idris as king. He was also leader of the Sanusi-order and Cyrenaica was his main base of support. In 1969 he was overthrown by a coup lead by Muammar Gaddafi. How would Cyrenaica and Tripolitania have developed if they had not been part of the same country and what would have happened to Fezzan? Would Fezzan have become part of Tripolitania?
