Brief Tunisian History

Brief History of Tunisia

Tunisian Cultural History Greek InfluenceNative Tunisians are descendants of indigenous Berber and Arab tribes that migrated to North Africa during the seventh century. Recorded history in Tunisia begins with the arrival of Phoenicians, who founded Carthage and other North African settlements.

Carthage was captured by the Romans in AD 146, and the Romans continued to rule North Africa until they were defeated by Germanic tribesmen from Europe in the fifth century.



Cultural Influences on Tunisian Mediterranean CeramicsThe Muslim conquest in the seventh century transformed North Africa. Tunisia became a center of Arab culture until its assimilation into the Turkish Ottoman Empire in the 16th century.

In the 19th century, in 1869, an international financial commission was formed, and France, the United Kingdom, and Italy established control over the Tunisian economy. France later established a protectorate in Tunisia, in 1881. Resistance to French rule continued into the 20th century, and this rise of nationalism led to Tunisia's independence in 1956.


Mediterranean Cultural Influences

Tunisian Mediterranean Cultural InfluencesThroughout its history, a variety of nations held control of Tunisia, and people from other nations migrated to this North African country. This interesting blend of Egyptian, early Greek and Roman, Turkish, Spanish, Arabic, Persian, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, African, and French cultures led to the variety of people living in Tunisia today.

Cultural Influences in Tunisia

In Tunisia, you will find remnants of a variety of cultures in the archaic Roman ruins, architectural design, styles of sailing vessels, art, and even in the languages spoken in everyday life. These Mediterranean cultural influences are apparent in the beautiful designs, patterns, and glazes of traditional Tunisian ceramics, cloth tapestries, woven carpets, and the intricate olive wood carvings that Tunisia is known for all over the world.
