How did the libyan war end?

The Libyan war, which escalated in 2011 during the Arab Spring, ended with the overthrow and death of longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi. After months of conflict, NATO intervened in support of rebel forces, leading to Gaddafi's capture and killing in October 2011. The war resulted in the collapse of his regime, but it also left Libya in a state of instability, leading to ongoing violence and political fragmentation in subsequent years.
