Relatively minor - but important in the British and Italian perspective - theatre of operations in the
Second World War
, 1940-1942. The Italians, subsequently aided and then led by the German
Afrika Korps
under
Erwin Rommel
, made successive attempts to advance from
Libya
(an Italian colony) into
Egypt
(notionally independent but effectively a British possession occupied by the
Eighth Army
) with an eye to capturing the
Suez Canal
. The war ebbed and flowed considerable distances across
Cyrenaica
, culminating in the second battle of
El Alamein
which marked the end of the final Axis advance and the apotheosis of Field Marshal
Montgomery
, and the first British land victory of the war. Shortly thereafter the Americans landed in Algeria (Operation
Torch
) and despite setbacks at the battle of
Kasserine
the Axis forces, starved of supplies by the disruption of their convoys by air and submarine forces based at
Malta
, were squeezed out of North Africa entirely.
