The book is dedicated to the emergence and development of Tunisia, one of the countries of the Maghreb, which has a special place in the history of all North Africa.

But Carthage has fallen! The author details the fate of the country: the stages of influence of the Roman Empire, Arab rule and the Ottoman Empire on the history of certain regions of Tunisia; about the period of its stay in the french colonial system. The book describes in detail the events of independence and the formation of the Tunisian Republic, assessing the current state and prospects for the development of the region.
