Recorded history in Tunisia begins with the arrival of
Phoenicians, who founded Carthage and other North African settlements in the
8th century B.C. Carthage became a major sea power, clashing with Rome for
control of the Mediterranean until it was defeated and captured by the Romans
in 146 B.C. The Romans ruled and settled in North Africa until the 5th century,
when the Roman Empire fell and Tunisia was invaded by European tribes,
including the Vandals. The Muslim conquest in the 7th century transformed
Tunisia and the make-up of its population, with subsequent waves of migration
from around the Arab and Ottoman world, including significant numbers of
Spanish Muslims and Jews at the end of the 15th century. Tunisia became a
centre of Arab culture and learning and was assimilated into the Turkish
Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. It was a French protectorate from 1881
until independence in 1956, and retains close political, economic, and cultural
ties with France.
President Bourguiba, who had been the leader of the
independence movement, declared Tunisia a republic in 1957, ending the nominal
rule of the Ottoman Beys. In June 1959, Tunisia adopted a constitution modelled
on the French system, which established the basic outline of the highly
centralized presidential system that continues today. The military was given a
defined defensive role, which excluded participation in politics. Starting from
independence, President Bourguiba placed strong emphasis on economic and social
development, especially education, the status of women, and the creation of
jobs, policies that continued under the Ben Ali administration.
President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali has been in office
since 1987, when he deposed Habib Bourguiba. The ruling party, the Democratic
Constitutional Rally (RCD), was the sole legal party for 25 years, including
when it was known as the Socialist Destourian Party (PSD), and still dominates
political life. The president is elected to 5-year terms, with virtually no
opposition, and appoints a prime minister and cabinet, who play a strong role
in the execution of policy.
