History CARTHAGE Tunisians traded and interacted with other Mediterranean cultures since the 12th century BC. Ancient Carthage, the great city-state founded in 814 BC, so prospered in trade and commerce that it attracted the eyes of an expanding Roman Empire. The fall of Carthage in the second century BC ushered in nearly 700 years of Roman rule. Tunisia prospered as the granary of the Roman Empire. The many splendid archaeological sites which dot the Tunisian landscape today attest to Tunisia's prominent position in the empire. In the Punic Wars, they had three wars with Rome, including an elephant-mounted expedition led by Hannibal across the Alps (218-202 BC,). Which in the end Carthage was defeated. After that was the begining of the Arab-Islamic period. Founded by Oqba lbn Nafaa (670). Then there was an Expansion of Islam and the establishment of the Aghlabid Dynasty. Then Tunisia became part of the Ottoman Empire. ARAB MOSLEM ERA In the fifth and the sixth centuries AD, Roman influence was replaced by that of first by the Vandals and later the Byzantines. In the seventh century AD, Islamic conquest reached Tunisia. The city of Kairouan became the center of religious life and the site of one of Islam's most ancient and holiest mosques. In the ensuing centuries, Islamic civilization enriched Tunisia during five long dynasties both Arab and Ottoman. High points during this period were the establishment in Tunis of the Great Mosque and Islamic University of Zitouna; the flourishing of great thinkers such as Ibn Khaldoun, historian and father of modern sociology, who produced works which still influence scholarship; and the arrival of Muslim Andalusian immigrants expelled from Spain in 1492. By the 16th century, Tunisia was under Ottoman control, and a dynasty of Beys governed the country.

Country Info Tunisia Introduction Tunisia General Data Tunisia Maps Tunisia Culture ... Tunisia Time and Date Tunisia History Back to Top In the earliest known period of its history, the region now called Tunisia was part of the Carthaginian Empire (see Carthage). According to tradition, Phoenician traders founded the city of Carthage in 814 bc at a location slightly northeast of the site of modern Tunis. In subsequent centuries Carthage became the center of a mighty empire that dominated most of northern Africa and intermittently ruled the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, Sardinia, and parts of Sicily. Beginning in 264 bc Carthage clashed with the expanding Roman Empire in a series of bloody struggles known as the Punic Wars. In the last of these, the Third Punic War (149-146 bc), Rome defeated the Carthaginians and completely destroyed their capital. From the 12th century BC the Phoenicians had a series of trading posts and ports of call on the North African coast. Carthage was founded in the 8th century BC in the general vicinity of present-day Tunis, and by the 6th century the Carthaginian kingdom encompassed most of present-day Tunisia. Carthage became part of Rome's African province in 146 BC after the Punic Wars. Roman rule endured until the Muslim Arab invasions in the mid-7th century AD. Since then Tunisia has been fought over, won, and lost by the 'Abbasids; their vassals the Aghlabids; the Shi'ite Fatimids; the Almohads; the Hafsids; Spain; and finally the Ottoman Turks, who conquered the place in 1574 and held it until their own decline in the late 19th century.

Home page Arab Info Tunisia Info Tunisia Government ... Links to Tunisia Tunisia - History Until 1883, when Tunisia formally became a French protectorate, the country was a semi-independent monarchy, with the Bey of Tunis as Head of State. In the 1930s a campaign for independence from French rule began, led by the Neo-Dustour (New Constitution) Party, founded in 1934 by Habib Bourguiba and a section of active former members of the Dustour movement. France granted Tunisia internal self-government in September 1955 and full independence on 20 March 1956. Five days later elections were held for a Constitutional Assembly, which met in April and appointed Bourguiba as Prime Minister in a Government dominated by members of the Neo-Dustour Party. Disagreement over government policy regarding the Gulf crisis was the apparent cause of the replacement, in late August, of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ismail Khelil, by Habib Boulares. In September the Government announced that it would comply with the resolutions of the UN Security Council concerning Iraq, including the imposition of a trade embargo. Relations with the other countries of the Maghreb improved considerably in the 1980s. A meeting between President Bourguiba and President Chadli of Algeria in March 1983 led to the drafting of the Maghreb Fraternity and Co-operation Treaty, which envisaged the eventual creation of a Greater Maghreb Union, and was signed by Mauritania in December 1983.

The Amphitheaters, thermae, odeums, Coliseums, witness the glory of an emperor and of a civilization. But beyond the triumph of the ancient times, the Arab architects had known how to show the genius of their arts: The great mosque of Kairouan is a splendid example of this art. Utique would be the most ancient counter, dating from the 1.100 before J.C, it became later a roman city. We acknowledge its thermae with mosaic floor. The Dougga town still rises proudly on its hill. Around the temple erected in honor of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva lies down the forum, with its Punic mausoleum and further its thermae, it's a theatre of 3.500 seat which relives every summer. As for El Jem Coliseum, it's quite as good as the Rome one: Where 35.000 spectators can take seats. The mosaic of the palace are dedicated to Dyonisos or Bacchus.

Tunisia History and Government History: Modern-day Tunisia was the centre of the Carthaginian civilisation, which challenged the dominance of both the Greek and Roman empires in the Mediterranean between the sixth and first centuries BC; Carthage itself was approximately 16km (ten miles) north of the present capital, Tunis. During the colonial era, Tunisia was ruled by a hereditary monarchy, until the French made the country a protectorate in 1883. Nationalist pressure for independence began in 1934, with the formation of the Néo-Destour (New Constitution) Party (NDP) under the leadership of Habib Bourguiba. Internal self-government was granted in 1955; independence as a constitutional monarchy under the Bey of Tunis came a year later. In 1957, the Bey was overthrown and a republic proclaimed, with Bourguiba as president. Despite independence, the French insisted on holding onto a naval base at Bizerta, on the northern coast. This was lost in 1963, after a naval blockade by the Tunisians and several months of heavy fighting. The ruling

For Middle East, North Africa, Arab and regional information visit Arab Countries Tunisia History Settled in the 12th cent. B.C. by Phoenicians, Tunisia became (6th cent. B.C.) the center of the powerful city-state of Carthage, which was destroyed by Rome in 146 B.C. Taken by the Vandals (5th cent. A.D.) and the Byzantines (6th cent.), the Arabs conquered Tunisia in the 7th cent., and the Berber population was converted to Islam. The area came under a succession of Muslim rulers, reaching its peak under the Berber Hafsid dynasty (c.1230–1574). In the late 16th cent. Tunisia was seized by the Ottoman Turks, and as one of the Barbary States it became a stronghold of pirates, on whom the treasury depended for several centuries. European intervention began in the 19th cent., and in 1881 Tunisia became a French protectorate. Nationalist agitation, which first surfaced in the 1920s, became intense after World War II, and independence was achieved in 1956. In 1957 the country became a republic, with Habib Bourguiba as president. Under Bourguiba, who was elected president-for-life in 1975, Tunisia was a moderate Arab state, following a generally pro-Western foreign policy; support for a negotiated settlement with Israel strained the country's relations with its Arab neighbors, however. Domestically, Bourguiba emphasized modernization and planned economic growth. In 1981 he authorized the legal formation of opposition political parties, indicating a possible shift in the direction of liberal democracy.

Tunisia is considered to be one of the most liberal nations in the Islamic world, especially in terms of the rights accorded to women. The country has been influenced throughout its history by waves of immigrants - primarily Phonecian, Arab, Berber, African, Turkish, and European giving rise to a unique Tunisian culture. The official language of Tunisia is Arabic, although the use of French is widespread, reflecting the country's French colonial history. A number of international festivals are held annually in Tunisia, celebrating music, dancing, film, and history. In addition, numerous archaeological sites and museums are located throughout the country, including ruins at the ancient Roman city of Carthage. The prestigious Bardo Museum in Tunis houses an impressive collection of Tunisia's world-renowned mosaics. Photo courtesy of Manfred Leiter.
