Tunisian National Movement
The Tunisian National Movement emerged in the early 20th century as a response to French colonial rule in Tunisia. It aimed to promote national identity and independence, advocating for political rights and social reforms. Key figures, such as Habib Bourguiba, played a significant role in mobilizing the population and organizing resistance against colonial authorities.
The movement gained momentum after World War II, leading to increased demands for autonomy. In 1956, Tunisia achieved independence from France, marking a significant victory for the National Movement. This paved the way for the establishment of a republic and the implementation of various modernization efforts under Bourguiba's leadership.
