Flag of Tunisia - History, Design, and Symbolism #2043664 (License: Personal Use)

The modern Tunisian flag consists of a solid red field with a central white disk bearing a red crescent and five-pointed star-symbols of Islam and unity. In this historical variant, the French tricolor appears in the upper-left canton, reflecting Tunisia’s protectorate status under France from 1881 to 1956. This version was used during the colonial era before independence.

Used in historical articles, educational resources, or museum exhibits about Tunisia’s colonial past and path to sovereignty; targets users researching flag evolution, North African history, or decolonization.
