Italo-Turkish War (sep 29, 1911 – oct 18, 1912)
Description:
War between Italy and Turkey, Italy wins
(Turkey was a weak country, "the sick man of Europe")
Giolitti wanted a quick, easy victory to gain support,
he partly succeeded in calming the right,
but angered the socialists, because of conscription and increased taxation
Italy gained the Dodecanese and Libya
Libya turned out to be a rebellious province
