The Vandals, a Germanic tribe, invaded and established control over parts of North Africa, including Tunisia, in the 5th century AD. They famously captured Carthage in 439 AD, making it their capital and a significant center of power. The Vandals are known for their naval prowess and raids across the Mediterranean, which contributed to the decline of Roman influence in the region. Their rule lasted until they were defeated by the Byzantine Empire in the 6th century.

The various peoples in Northern Morocco, western Algeria, southern Tunisia and western Libya became independent.
