رأس المال الفرنسي و امتيازاته في تونس قبل 1881 م

Abstract EN

This study examines the penetration of French capital in Tunisia during the nineteenth century before the imposition of the 1881 protection through economic capitulations, and asymmetric treaties between France and the Tunisian agency, which were going through a difficult period economically, financially and socially.

After its rulers carried out reforms in various economic, military and political areas, it cost it huge sums of money due to the uselessness of some of these reforms and due to the corruption of some ministers.

All of this made Tunisia resort to External debt and sign economic treaties and agreements with European countries, of which France obtained the largest part, which made it interfere in the internal sovereignty of Tunisia to the point of supervising the conduct of state treasury funds and collecting them through the financial committee to pay the state debts, But it did not pay but rather made Tunisia lose its sovereignty through French interference in its internal policy, and this is among the most important reasons that precipitated the imposition of French protection in 1881.
