About this document
Libya by Peter G. Spengler is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the geopolitical context behind the US-led military intervention in Libya in 2011. It argues that the intervention was part of a broader US agenda to assert control over the Middle East and North Africa region. Specifically: 1) The timing of the intervention on the 8th anniversary of the Iraq invasion suggests it was less about protecting civilians and more about expanding US influence. 2) Gaddafi had built an independent Libya that undermined US interests by supporting pan-Africa
