History
The foreign relations of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi (1969–2011) underwent much fluctuation and change. After he came to power in a 1969 coup d'état, U.S.-Libyan relations became increasingly strained. Gaddafi closed American and British bases on Libyan territory and partially nationalized all foreign oil and commercial interests in Libya.
There were marked by severe tension with the West (especially the United States, although relations were normalised in the early 21st century prior to the 2011 US-backed regime change) and by other national policies in the Middle East and Africa, including the Libyan government's financial and military support for numerous paramilitary and rebel groups.
The foreign relations of Libya were largely reset at the end of the 2011 regime change, with the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
