Map: Kingdom of Libya in 1958, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Kingdom of Libya in 1958, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 1.62 million km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

Before and after

The states the record files it as replacing or following, and those that replaced or followed it - Wikidata's own statements, each read from this state's side.

How it ended, as its article says

Dissolved, 1969-09-01. Read from the article's section “History - 1969 coup and end of the monarchy” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

The monarchy came to an end on 1 September 1969 when a group of military officers led by Muammar Gaddafi staged a coup d'état against King Idris while he was in Turkey for medical treatment.

1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1951 – 1969. Only 18 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What happened within it, by century

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 2 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
