Italo-Turkish War (1911-12) - Courage
An Italian postcard entitled " Courage! Victory is Nigh!". The Italo Turkish War was launched by Italy against Turkey, with the aim of gaining Libya, in order to counterbalance French conquests in North Africa. Part of the general feeding frenzy that surrounded the decline of the Ottoman Empire ( The Sick Man of Europe ). Italy declared war on 29 September 1911, and after preliminary naval bombardments, an Italian naval forces occupied Tobruk (4th October) and Tripoli (5th October). The army, under General Carlo Caneva, took over the occupation on 11th October, and promptly stalled under a combination of skilful Turkish religious propaganda amongst the local population and the caution of Caneva. It was only the next summer, starting in July 1912, that the Italians advanced out of their coastal strongholds, slowly forcing the Turks back, and winning several victories over them. However, it was the threatened outbreak of the First Balkan War that forced Turkey to make peace, and by the Treaty of Ouchy (15th October 1912), Turkey ceded Libya, Rhodes and the Dodecanese islands to Italy

EDITORS COMMENTS
Courage! Victory is Nigh!" This evocative title graces an Italian postcard from the Italo-Turkish War, a pivotal moment in the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the scramble for North African territories. Launched in September 1911, Italy's war against Turkey aimed to secure Libya as a counterbalance to French acquisitions. The initial naval bombardments of Tobruk (October 4th) and Tripoli (October 5th) were swiftly followed by Italian army occupation on October 11th, under the command of General Carlo Caneva. However, the Italians' progress was not as swift as anticipated. Skilful Turkish religious propaganda among the local population and Caneva's cautious approach stalled the Italian advance. It wasn't until the following summer, starting in July 1912, that the Italians began to push out of their coastal strongholds, securing several victories against the Turks. The looming threat of the First Balkan War, however, forced Turkey to make peace. By the Treaty of Ouchy, signed on October 15th, 1912, Turkey ceded Libya, Rhodes, and the Dodecanese islands to Italy. This postcard, a testament to the courage and determination of the Italian forces during this period, captures the spirit of a pivotal moment in history.
