In North Africa, Tunisia becomes a French protectorate.

Ottoman Tunisia, also known as the Eyalat of Tunis or the Regency of Tunis, was a territory of the Ottoman Empire that existed from the 16th to 19th century in what is largely present-day Tunisia.

The French protectorate of Tunisia, officially the Regency of Tunis and commonly referred to as simply French Tunisia, was established in 1881, during the French colonial empire era, and lasted until Tunisian independence in 1956.
