French occupation of Tunisia → French conquest of Tunisia — Since occupation could imply the long-term presence of French troops and French officials, whereas this article is only about the act of occupying the country (invasion and suppression of rebellion), the term "conquest" might be more appropriate. (Or maybe French invasion of Tunisia, which might not be expansive enough for the contents?) There are also move requests—just to make sure we've got the best possible titles—at Talk:French Protectorate of Tunisia#Requested_move and Talk:History of French-era Tunisia#Requested_move.
