In response to the British presence in Egypt, the French established dominance in
  1. The Ottoman Empire
  2. East Africa
  3. The Congo
  4. Tunisia
  5. The Sudan
Explanation
Answer: D - The French claimed Tunisia in 1881 in response to Britain's hold on Egypt. This gave the French a stronger hold in North Africa. France had held Algeria since 1830, and claiming Tunisia further expanded the French presence. Empire building also helped France reclaim some of the status lost because of its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War.
