Gaddafi was born on June 7, 1942 at Qasr Abu Hadi. He graduated from the University of Libya in 1963. Then he graduated the Libyan military academy at Banghazi in 1965. He was an Arab nationalist, and wanted to overthrow King Idris. Gaddafi and a group of officers planned out how to overthrow King Idris. By 1969 the planning was complete and the revolutionaries were ready to revolt. They waited until King Idris left Libya to get some medical treatment. After he left, they started the coup. They got rid of the monarchy and Gaddafi became Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council of Libya(A&E). This is how Muammar Gaddafi gained power of Libya.
