Subdivisions of Libya are the different names for the areas of Libya in the last two centuries. Initially Libya under Ottoman and Italian control was organized into three to four provinces, then into three governorates (''muhafazah'') and after World War II into twenty-five districts (''baladiyah''). Successively into thirty-two districts (''shabiyat'') with three administrative regions, and finally into twenty-two districts (''shabiyat''). ==History== Prior to the Italian invasion of 1911, the area of Libya was administered as three separate provinces ("Vilayets") of the Ottoman Empire: Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica. At first, Italy continued the tripartite administration, but soon consolidated the area into a single province/gobernatorate administered as the "Libyan Colony". Indeed until about 1931 -when the last of the native resistance to the Italians was subdued- the area was divided into three historical regions (Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan/"Territorio Sahara"). Then, in 1937, Italian governor Italo Balbo created the political entity called ''Libya''. His Italian Libya was with four provinces and one territory: Tripoli, Misurata, Benghazi, Derna, (in the coastal north) and the "Territory of the Libyan Sahara" (in the Saharan south).〔Pan, Chia-Lin (1949) "The Population of Libya" ''Population Studies,'' 3(1): pp. 100-125, p. 104〕 After the French and British occupied Libya in 1943, it was again split into three provinces: Tripolitania in the northwest, Cyrenaica in the east, and Fezzan-Ghadames in the southwest.〔("Map of Libya 1943-1951" ''Zentrale für Unterrichtsmedien'' )〕 After independence, Libya was divided into three governorates (''muhafazat''), matching the three provinces of before, but in 1963 it was divided into ten governorates. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Subdivisions of Libya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
