İngilizce - İngilizce
Ruling dynasty of Tunisia (1705-1957). The dynasty was founded by an officer of the Ottoman Empire, al-usayn ibn Al. He was allowed to rule autonomously and made treaties with European powers. European pressure led later usaynid rulers to suppress piracy (1819), abolish slavery, and ease restrictions on Jews (1837-55). When Tunisia became a French protectorate in 1883, usaynid rulers became mere figureheads. The monarchy was abolished when Tunisia gained its independence in 1957
