Bizerta Fortified Harbor Draws French Naval Power
Bizerta in Tunisia emerges as a central naval hub on the eastern Mediterranean trade route. The harbor, once neglected, has been dredged and expanded to host large vessels, with new embankments, two 215 foot jettys, and a protected outer harbor of 200 acres. French control since the Anglo-Tunisian treaty end has opened the way for sustained naval presence, signaling a strategic pivot toward the Levant. Belgium and Italy may contest the naval balance as Tunisia modernizes.
