Tunisia, (official name: Republic of Tunisia), was founded on the 20th March 1956, when the region gained independence from France.


Brief history of ownership over the region
The area that is today known as Tunisia was first inhabited by a group of people called Berbers in ancient times.
Around the 12th century BCE, Phoneticians migrated to the area and founded Carthage, a rival to the Roman Empire. The Romans destroyed Carthage and established a Roman state there in 149 BCE.
Then the country was conquered by Arabs in the first century of Islam. After that, in 1534, the Ottoman Empire conquered the region and held it for three hundred years. In 1881, France conquered Tunisia and made it a part of the French Empire as a French Protectorate.

On the 20th March 1956, Tunisia gained independence from France, officially becoming known as the Republic of Tunisia, the country it is today.
