Tunisia's geographical location has meant that many different peoples
have entered and dominated the country. Probably the original population

the parade of invaders began with the Phoenicians, who settled Carthage,
used it as a trading base, and eventually entered into a losing conflict
with Rome. Under the Romans, who dominated Tunisia for several centuries,
Christianity also entered the country.
After the decline of the Romans, the Vandals invaded from the west,
followed by a Byzantine reconquest from the east. The Byzantines were
replaced by Muslim Arabs from the east, but by land, in the seventh
century. Tunisia has been predominantly Arabic-speaking and Muslim since
then, though dynasties have come and gone. After 1574, Tunisia was
incorporated into the Ottoman Empire.
the Spanish held parts of Tunisia briefly before the Ottomans, and the
French ruled Tunisia during the colonial period from 1881 to 1956.
