The Destour Party, founded in 1920 in Tunisia, was a political movement aimed at achieving independence from French colonial rule. Initially focused on reforming the political system, it later adopted a more nationalist agenda, advocating for the rights and freedoms of the Tunisian people. In 1956, the Destour Party played a crucial role in Tunisia's independence, leading to the establishment of a sovereign state. The party's leader, Habib Bourguiba, became the first President of Tunisia, promoting modernization and social reforms. The party has since evolved, influencing Tunisia's political landscape throughout the 20th century.
