Question: When did the nation that seized the country where Al-Berka is located from the empire that declined following the Crimean War join the Allies in WW2?

<P0-S0> during george's reign the break-up of the british empire and its transition into the commonwealth of nations accelerated. <P0-S1> the parliament of the irish free state removed direct mention of the monarch from the country's constitution on the day of his accession. <P0-S2> from 1939, the empire and commonwealth, except ireland, was at war with nazi germany. <P0-S3> war with italy and japan followed in 1940 and 1941, respectively. <P0-S4> though britain and its allies were ultimately victorious in 1945, the united states and the soviet union rose as pre-eminent world powers and the british empire declined. <P0-S5> after the independence of india and pakistan in 1947, george remained as king of both countries, but the title emperor of india was abandoned in june 1948. ireland formally declared itself a republic and left the commonwealth in 1949, and india became a republic within the commonwealth the following year. <P0-S6> george adopted the new title of head of the commonwealth. <P0-S7> he was beset by health problems in the later years of his reign. <P0-S8> his elder daughter, elizabeth, succeeded him. <SEP> <P1-S0> As a result of this conflict, the Ottoman Turks ceded the provinces of Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica to Italy. <P1-S1> These provinces together formed what became known as Libya. <SEP> <P2-S0> The Crimean War marked the ascendancy of France to the position of pre-eminent power on the Continent,:411 the continued decline of the Ottoman Empire, and the beginning of a decline for Tsarist Russia. <P2-S1> As Fuller notes, "Russia had been beaten on the Crimean peninsula, and the military feared that it would inevitably be beaten again unless steps were taken to surmount its military weakness." <P2-S2> The Crimean War marks the demise of the Concert of Europe, the balance of power that had dominated Europe since the Congress of Vienna in 1815, and which had included France, Russia, Austria and the United Kingdom. <SEP> <P3-S0> Some 28 Italian divisions participated in the Balkan invasions. <P3-S1> The coast of Yugoslavia was occupied by the Italian Army, while the rest of the country was divided between the Axis forces (a German and Italian puppet State of Croatia was created, under the nominal sovereignty of Prince Aimone, Duke of Aosta, but actually governed by the Croatian fascist Ante Pavelić). <P3-S2> The Italians assumed control of most of Greece with their 11th Army, while the Bulgarians occupied the northern provinces and the Germans the strategically most important areas. <P3-S3> Italian troops would occupy parts of Greece and Yugoslavia until the Italian armistice with the Allies in September 1943. <SEP> <P4-S0> although it was russia that was punished by the paris treaty, in the long run it was austria that lost the most from the crimean war despite having barely taken part in it. <P4-S1> :433 having abandoned its alliance with russia, austria was diplomatically isolated following the war,:433 which contributed to its disastrous defeats in the 1859 franco-austrian war that resulted in the cession of lombardy to the kingdom of sardinia, and later in the loss of the habsburg rule of tuscany and modena, which meant the end of austrian influence in italy. <P4-S2> furthermore, russia did not do anything to assist its former ally, austria, in the 1866 austro-prussian war:433 with its loss of venetia and more important than that, its influence in most german-speaking lands. <P4-S3> the status of austria as a great power, with the unifications of germany and italy was now severely questioned. <P4-S4> it had to compromise with hungary, the two countries shared the danubian empire and austria slowly became a little more than a german satellite. <P4-S5> with france now hostile to germany, allied with russia, and russia competing with the newly renamed austro-hungarian empire for an increased role in the balkans at the expense of the ottoman empire, the foundations were in place for creating the diplomatic alliances that would lead to world war i. <SEP> <P5-S0> Al-Berka (Arabic:البركة) is a Basic People's Congress administrative division of Benghazi, Libya. <P5-S1> As of the 2011 Libyan revolution, the area is simply known as a district of Benghazi after the Gaddafi era Basic People's Congresses were disbanded.
