https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_Libya
"
Oil reserves in
Libya are the largest in Africa and among the ten largest globally'
Oil was discovered in Libya in 1959
Italy suffered from, among many other problems, a shortage of natural resources, including oil reserves.
Does anyone know of a way Italy might discover oil in Libya before WWII, or was the technology too primitive to find it?
And if they could, how would this effect Italy and her Ally Germany in WWII?
