After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Americans focused their war effort on Germany and Italy in the European Theater. There, in 1942, they first landed on North Africa, with the general objectives of clearing (with British help) enemy forces from the Axis' North African possessions and of paving the way for an invasion of Europe itself.
