what date did the Allies land in North Africa : in WWII?

Answer 1

Okay, I'm not trying to be a smart a__ but why ask these kind of questions here? All you have to do is look it up on Ask.com or goggle and get loads of information. Isn't that what it's there for? I see all these questions that people can just look up and get much more information than any one will give you here. Also, what about looking it up in a book? Remember those?

Answer 2

They didn't actually land. The British bit opf the Allies was always in Egypt, which was a British protetorate (I think). The Italians tried to invade and were driven back, then the German Afrika Korps under Rommel drove the British back to El Alamein, where Montgomery beat him and pushed the Germans west. There may have been one more to and fro somewhere.

At some point some Americans arrived and faffed around at a place called Kasserine Pass, but the game was over by then.

Answer 3

The British were occupants of Egypt at the time, and the German "Desert Fox" Erwin Rommel started down North Africa from Morocco to Egypt in 1942. He was stopped at the Battle of El Alamein in 1944 by British General Bernard Montgomery and that was the turning point for the Allies in that theater.
