Ottoman Tunisia
Ottoman Tunis
refers to the episode of the Turkish presence in
Ifriqiya
during the course of three centuries from the 16th century until the 18th century, when Tunis was officially integrated into the
Ottoman Empire
as the
Eyalet of Tunis
(province). Eventually including all of the
Maghrib
except
Morocco
, the Ottoman Empire began with the takeover of
Algiers
in 1516 by the Ottoman Turkish
corsair
and
beylerbey
Oruç Reis
. The
first Ottoman conquest of Tunis
took place in 1534 under the command of
Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha
, the younger brother of Oruç Reis, who was the
Kapudan Pasha
of the
Ottoman Fleet
during the reign of
Suleiman the Magnificent
. However, it wasn't until the
final Ottoman reconquest of Tunis from Spain
in 1574 under Kapudan Pasha
Uluç Ali Reis
that the Turks permanently acquired the former Hafsid Tunisia, retaining it until the French occupation of Tunisia in 1881.
