الأوضاع العامة بالبلاد التونسية خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية 1939-1945

الملخص EN

Tunisia represented the battlefield between the axis and allies from November 1942 to may 1943, and the second world war had a general effect on the colonial authorities and the conditions in the Tunisian country, which contributed to the revival of the national action.

as a result of the pressures exerted on the French authority to soften its policy toward the patriots, France lost its radiation and influence in Tunisia.

on the other hand, the allies' operations caused great damages in the Tunisian country and the deterioration of the living standard of the citizens and France's actions to be a policy of intimidation and reproduciation on the charge of cooperation with the axis.

at the time of Moncef Bey he worked on reviving the Tunisian authority, taking into consideration the French weakness to prove the Tunisian sovereignty, and the bey refused to deal with the axis despite the offered temptations and took a neutral position.

however, his policy did not obscure France, which isolated and exile him, and the national movement during this period witnessed a change in its policy after 9 April 1938 events.

the national action emerged from secrecy to public through the establishment of several associations and the al-Monsofiya movement worked to develop a program based on the demand for autonomy and establishment of a constitutional monarchy.

this period was thus considered important in the history of the Tunisian national movement as a result of the conquest of several internal and external conditions that the movement exploited to besiege the colonial regime, and the leadership of the new constitutional party began to seek outside support for the national cause and to exploit new global conditions.
