Résumé

The sixteenth century is the time when two great states representing two great civilizations (Islamic and Western) reached their apex on the historical scene. In this century the Ottoman state saw itself as the most
powerful state and protector of the Islamic world whereas Catholic Spain regarded itself as the defender of the
West and of Christianity. Impelled by religious, military and economic motives these two states confronted each other in order to obtain the overlordship of the geopolitically crucial region of Tunisia in the Central
Mediterranean. In the sixteenth century Tunisia gained importance for the Ottomans as a place that needed to be conquered for two reasons: it was situated at the connecting point with Algeria, which was their most important province in Northern Africa; and it was found in a place that controlled the trade routes in the Mediterranean. By contrast, the Spanish state considered it to be of vital importance for the protection of its garrisons in Northern Africa and for the security of its lands in Southern Italy.
