In 1973, while economic reforms were underway, Gaddafi announced the "Peoples Revolution" in a speech. This was meant to implement a form of [[File:Islamic_Socialism.png]] [[Islamic Socialism|Islamic Socialism]] (This ideology is laid out in the Green Book and summarized in the Foundations and Beliefs section). He continued announcing and proposing ideas throuout the 70's and early 80's.<ref name="Cycle">[https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/muammar-al-gaddafi ''"Muammar Al-Gaddafi."''], Encyclopedia of World Biography.com.

One of these announcements was that of the newly proclaimed [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Socialist People's Libyan Arab

Gaddafi and his regime were known for funding groups abroad that alagined with his beliefs, like the [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|Black Panther Party]] in the US and the [[File:IrelandHarp.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|IRA]] in Northern Ireland. These activities caused a growing disfavor of Gaddafi in the eyes of the [[File:Cball-US.png]] American government, and in 1986, carried out airstrikes on several sites in [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, barley missing Gaddafi, but killing many members of his family in the process.<ref name="BioBritt" />
During the [[File:Cball-US.png]] US invasion of Grenada, [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya sent military advisors to [[File:Cball-Grenada.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Grenada]].
Another one of the regime's foreign relations was in 2009, when Gaddafi was named the head of the [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] African Union. Almost immediately, Gaddafi's strong [[File:Pan-Africanism.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism#Pan-Africanism|pan-nationalism]] made some members of the union uneasy. He advocated for an extremely strong union of all the member states and the eventual formation of the "United States of Africa", which would function as any other sovereign government.<ref>[https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2009/2/2/african-union-names-gaddafi-as-head ''"African Union names Gaddafi as head"''], Al Jazeera. 2 February 2009.</ref> In 2010, when Gaddafi tried to become the head again after his one year term ended, several African nations pushed back and he was denied.<ref name="BioBritt" />

====[[File:Unimon.png]] King of Kings [[File:Monarch.png]]====
In 2008, [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Muammar Gaddafi claimed the title of "King of Kings" after a gathering of more than 200 African [[File:Tribal.png]] tribal kings and chiefs endorsed his use of the title on 28 August that year, stating that "We have decided to recognise our [[File:Gaddafi.png]] brotherly leader as the '[[File:Unimon.png]] king of kings', [[File:Monarch.png]]sultans, [[File:Feud.png]] princes, [[File:Muslim_2.png]] sheikhs and [[File:Urb.png]] mayors of Africa". At the meeting, held in the city of [[File:Cball-Libya.png]] Benghazi, Gaddafi was given gifts including a throne, an 18th-century [[File:Muslim_2.png]] Qur'an, [[File:Trad.png]]traditional outfits and ostrich eggs. At the same meeting, Gaddafi urged his guests to put pressure on their own governments and speed the process of moving towards a [[File:Pan-Africanism.png]] unified African continent [[File:Blacknat.png]]. Gaddafi told those that attended the meeting that "We want an [[File:Mil.png]] African military [[File:Strato.png]] to defend [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] Africa, we want a single African currency, we want one [[File:Civnat.png]] African passport to travel within Africa". The meeting was later referred to as a "bizarre ceremony" in [[File:Mediastocracy_flair.png]] international media.

This rise in violence lead to condemnation from the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] international community, and lots of resignations from Libyan positions, like the Libyan ambassador to the [[File:Cball-UN.png]]
