My Conclusion
After doing all this research on Gaddafi, I have developed a new perspective on Gaddafi. Before starting this research, I only viewed him as a criminal for killing a lot of people. Now I realize what happened to him. I believe that after he gained power of Libya, he tried his best to help the economy and citizens of Libya. After he was in power for a while, I think he was afraid of people wanting remove him from power. Due to the fact that he wanted to stay in power, he made his country fear him so that they wouldn’t revolt. After killing thousands of people, the revolutionaries ended up killing him. In the end, this lead to his fall. This is what I believe happened to Gaddafi after he gained a lot of power.
