With Libya so much in the news lately, I got to thinking: the Italo-Turkish War (which began 100 years ago this September) is one of those not-all-that-long-ago major historical events that no one today seems to think about much. But suppose it never took place (perhaps a different Italian government that isn't interested in pursuing their claim might work as a POD) and Libya remains part of the Ottoman Empire?
What might be the effects of that? At least from the Wiki article, it sounds like the Italian-Turkish war not happening might butterfly away the Balkan Wars (or delay them at least). Could this delay or even prevent anything like WWI from occuring?
Most importantly for this thread, what do you think would happen to Libya in such a scenario?
