The Libyan Revolution began on Tuesday, February 14, 2011 as the end result of the constant oppression of the Libyan people by a dictatorial government for more than forty years. The UN responded to the revolution by creating a no fly zone over Libya. A ceasefire created a temporary peace until Gaddafi's forces attacked and the revolution never looked back. The rebels eventually captured the capitol city of Tripoli, and they tracked down and killed Gaddafi on October 20th, 2011. The revolution was a successful revolution as the government was overthrown and a new one put in place.
