They were lead by King Idris and his Senussi tribe in the provinces of Cyrenaica and Tripolitania against the Italian occupation after 1929, when Italy reneged on it's political promises to the Senussi of 1911. Resistance ended at the close of World War 2 when the British and French made him Emir of an independent Libya in 1951.

It was also a widley held myth that Colonell Gadaffi's tribe crushed a Italian garrison in the south of Fezzan, near the border with the T'Chad, since the tribe were infact operating on the Tripolitania/Fezzan border through out the war. The Fezzan was occuped by the Free French in 1943.
