Military operations in North Africa during World War I

Series of conflicts during World War I

Conflicts took place in North Africa during World War I (1914–1918) between the Central Powers and the Entente and its allies. On 14 November 1914, the Ottoman Sultan proclaimed a jihad. With support from Germany, he sought to create a diversion to draw British troops from the Sinai and Palestine Campaign and recover Libya, lost in the recent Italo-Turkish War.
