Population
As the original residents of the Maghreb, the Berbers are now only a small minority in Tunisia. About 98% of Tunisians are Arabs and Arabized Berbers. The last areas where Berber dialects are still spoken are the island of Djerba and the Dahar Mountains in the south. Many nomads in the south have given up their traditional life and have mostly settled in the steppe areas of the interior. However, the majority of Tunisians live on the coast, 67% of them in cities as a result of ongoing rural exodus. The largest metropolitan area is the metropolis of Tunis. Around one million Tunisians live abroad, over 80% of them in Europe (especially in France).

History
The road to independence
After three years of power struggle, the Janissary officer Husain Ibn Ali († 1739/40) founded the two dynasty of the Husainids in 1705, which remained at the top until the introduction of the republic (1957). At the beginning of the 19th century, buccaneering was abolished, which contributed to the economic decline; In 1869 it went bankrupt.
The French influence grew since the conquest of Algeria (from 1830); In 1881 Tunisia became a French protectorate, recognized by Bei Mohammed as-Sadik (* 1813, † 1882), who had ruled since 1859, in the Bardo Treaty of May 12, 1881.
Following the example of the Young Turks, but also the events in Russia and Persia since 1905, the “Young Tunisians” movement was formed in 1907, and in 1920 the Destur as a party of nationalists. The more radical Neo-Destur party split off from it, led by H. Bourguiba, in 1934. Negotiations on the introduction of a parliamentary-democratic system between the groups of the Tunisian national movement and the French Popular Front government under L. Blum were no longer taken up by the following governments after their overthrow. Riots (1937) triggered the declaration of a state of emergency (1938). During World War II Tunisia was a theater of war from November 1942 to May 1943. In addition to the “Neo-Destur movement”, the union organization Union Générale des Travailleurs de Tunisie (UGTT), founded in 1948, grew into a second power factor in the Tunisian national movement after the Second World War. After the French colonial power had initially tried to suppress the Tunisian aspirations for independence ( Bourguibas imprisonment, 1952-55), the increasing political pressure of the national movement forced them to give in: On September 1, 1955, Tunisia received autonomy, on March 20, 1956 (with Solution of the protectorate treaty) independence. On April 15, 1956, Bourguiba became Prime Minister; his government resumed on July 25, 1957 Mohammed VIII. Al-Amin (* 1881, † 1962), from Tunis since 1943, and proclaimed the republic.
