Tunisia, with the mountain ranges, the coastline and the Sahara desert with much of the remainder consisting of fertile soil was known as the "bread basket" of the Roman Empire. Later, Tunisia was occupied by Vandals during the 5th century AD, Byzantines in the 6th century, and Arabs in the 8th century. Under the Ottoman Empire, Tunisia was known as "Regency of Tunis". After many years of gaining their own independence, the nationalist leader Habib Bourguiba became its first president and led the modernization of the country in July 25, 1957. I hope that's enough information for you.
