What country occupied Tunisia?

Well, depends on exactly when you're talking. Assuming you mean during WW2, it was conquered by France in the 1880's. During WW2, France was conquered by Germany, and the southern part of France, as well as overseas colonies, were run by a new French government, which was friendly to Germany, set up in the city of Vichy (in southern France)- the so-called "Vichy France". When the Allies invaded Morocco in 1942 (there were already British troops in Egypt), German and Italian troops had to occupy French territory since French troops generally didn't try to stop the Allied advance. By summer of 1943, the Allies had defeated the Axis troops in North Africa and were able to invade Sicily, which led to the invasion and defeat of Italy.
