While the overburdened Ottomans were busy stemming the bleeding of its Empire, their European neighbors were scrambling to wrest huge chunks of it for themselves. By the late 19th century, most of the Balkan states had declared independence or autonomy. Bosnia and Herzegovina were not as lucky as they were taken from the Ottoman Empire by Austria-Hungary.
Egypt , meanwhile, was firmly in the hands of Britain.

Italo-Turkish War and Italian Tripolitania. Italy was not a major colonial power during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Italy watched enviously as powerful France and Britain took large chunks of North Africa for themselves.
Italo-Turkish War - Wikipedia
Tripoli and Cyrene in Ottoman Libya. The Ottomans replied with a rejection the following day. This rejection only gave the Italians the perfect excuse to invade Tripoli. Italy declared a war against the Ottomans and started with a naval blockade. More than 40, Italian troops were dispatched to take part in this war of expansion in Libya which began on October 1, This left the Ottomans with no choice but to leave the city and retreat further into the desert. Four days later, victorious Italian troops occupied Tripoli while Ottoman volunteers and Libyan tribesmen were forced to retaliate with guerilla warfare.
Turkish troops, however, were recalled later on as the beleaguered Ottomans prepared for the Balkan War. These included the first use of aircraft in bombardment and reconnaissance, as well as the first widespread use of machine guns and armored cars.
Tripoli and young Italy
By early November , Italian troops had overcome resistance in Tripoli and soon declared its sovereignty over the colony. Despite the Italian victory, Libyan resistance continued into the latter part of and into mid As the war raged on, Italy managed to overpower the Ottoman navy in the eastern Mediterranean. Italian troops then occupied the island of Rhodes and some parts of the Dodecanese group. By October , the beleaguered Ottoman Empire was facing another war in the Balkans and it could not afford to be distracted. Ottoman representatives were forced to accept the setback and decided to sue for peace.
One of the terms of the Treaty was for the Italians to evacuate Rhodes and the Dodecanese. However, they failed to honor the agreement and continued to occupy the island.
Italian invasion of Libya
The Ottomans also evacuated most of their troops from Libya, but a few remained in the territory and continued to fight the enemy. Conflict flared every now and then between the Ottomans plus their Libyan tribesmen allies and Italian troops, but Tripoli, from then on, was firmly in the hands of the Italians.
