The War for the Egyptian Middle eastern territories, also known as the War for Lebanon and the Italo-Ottoman war was a conflict between the Ottoman Empire on one side, and the Kingdoms of Italy and Egypt on the other. The war started when the Ottoman Empire demanded the provinces of Lebanon and Jordan (claimed for some time by the Ottomans) from Egypt. Egypt refused, and 2 days later the Ottoman armies crossed the border. Turkish troops anhilated the minimal Egyptian troops that held the border, and started occupying the Egyptian Middle East, as well as sending troops through Ottoman Lybia into northwestern Egypt
