Since 2011, Libya has experienced profound political and security transformations due to external interventions led by the United States and supported by European powers, notably France, the United Kingdom, and Italy. Initially justified on humanitarian grounds to protect civilians from the violence of the former regime, these interventions quickly escalated into large-scale military operations that toppled the Gaddafi government without a clear plan for the post-conflict phase. This created a fragile political environment with ongoing domestic and regional consequences. This study examines how American and Western interventions shaped the trajectory of the Libyan crisis, questioning whether they contributed to stability or the dismantling of state institutions. It hypothesizes that these interventions were driven primarily by strategic and geopolitical interests rather than purely humanitarian motives. Using a historical-analytical and case study methodology, the research analyzes the nature of interventions, the evolving political and military roles of the intervening states, and their impact on Libya’s internal stability. The study also explores the broader implications for national sovereignty and the intersection of humanitarian rhetoric with geopolitical objectives. Keywords: Libyan crisis, external intervention, United States, European powers, national sovereignty, political stability, geopolitical interests.
