Evacuation Day

October 15, Tuesday

The Bizerte crisis occurred in July 1961 when Tunisia imposed a blockade on the French naval base at Bizerte, Tunisia, hoping to force its evacuation. The crisis culminated in a three-day battle between French and Tunisian forces that left 630 Tunisians and 24 French dead which eventually led to France ceding the city and naval base to Tunisia in 1963.
