Although technically a protectorate\, not a colony\, the French controlled Tunisia's political and economic systems\, and Tunisian nationalists gradually began demanding self-rule. By the 1930s\, calls for independence had grown louder. \nOn April 8 and 9\, 1938\, thousands of Tunisians\, led by Neo Destour activists\, organized mass protests in Tunis. Protesters included students\, workers\, and middle-class citizens who saw the moment as urgent for political reform. \nOn April 9\, 1938\, as demonstrators gathered in front of the French General Residence (government building)\, French colonial troops opened fire on the crowds. The official death toll was at least 22\, with hundreds injured and arrested.  \nThis moment came to be known as the 1938 Uprising\, and those who died became known as "the martyrs of the nation". Over time\, the memory of the martyrs became a rallying cry for continued resistance\, culminating in Tunisia's independence in 1956. \nOn March 20\, 1956\, Tunisia gained full independence from France. \nIn 1957\, the newly formed Tunisian Republic formally recognized April 9 as Martyrs' Day.
