Are there any recent war or conflicts in Libya?

Libya is a bit out the realm of major world events. Nations that are closer to the Suez Canal (read Southwest Asia aka Middle East) see most of the conflicts (read Israel, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, etc.). Libya borders the Mediterranean Sea, and there may have been some "kidnappings, robberies, etc." (romantically called pirating by the newspaper people...gotta sell those papers!); which drew in US response's with military force. Lebanon, which is closer to Syria and has definitely seen some action, when ever the "middle east" erupts (which used to be routinely during the 1960s/70s) might sometimes be confused with Libya...for people who don't follow world events.

What was the overall belief of German General Rommel as to why he was defeated in North Africa?

German General Rommel was clear on this issue. He believed that the British had given the North African Theater a high priority. This was in contrast to the German High Command. Also, the British benefited by having the Royal Navy to provide as much support as it could for the British Eighth Army. Again, in contrast, Rommel did not believe that the Italian Navy could compete with the British Navy. When ever he asked Berlin for more troops, he was denied this support.

What was libya doing in World War 1?

It was occupied by Britain in WW1 and didn't do much, but in WW2 Libya was invaded by the Central Powers who were subsequently defeated by Australian forces. Tripoli was the focal point of the campaign where there was an epic showdown between the Australians and the brutal German commander Rommel. Rommel suffered his first ever defeat at the hands of the Australians after a legendary military career. This kind of destroyed German and Italian morale on the Southern Front.
