Validity Study of NIE 71-55:
Probable Developments in French North Africa,
(insofar as it pertained to Tunisia)
published 29 November 1955
NIE 71-55 (published 29 November 1955) correctly evaluated
the strength of Tunisian nationalist pressures for independence, and
predicted the impact which French concessions in Morocco would
have in Tunisia. However, it failed to estimate accurately the
rapidity with which Tunisia would achieve its independence, largely
because of the swift change in French policy.
