Britain had to occupy North Africa in order to move up through Italy. If Germany still had control of North Africa, then German forces would come up behind Allied forces during the "Invasion of Sicily" and destroy them completly.


Importance of El Alamein?

'Before Alamein we never had a victory, after Alamein we never had a defeat'. Not quite the truth, but it does represent the fact that the ending of the threat to the middle east & Suez was an important factor in WW2. The whole of the war in North Africa is important because it leads to the Allies re entering Europe by Sicily & the Italian Peninsula. Rommels' Afrika Korps had won much territory through Libya & into Egypt, El Alamein marks the high water mark of this campaign of thrust & counter thrust. Montgomery would go on to become the premier British commander of the War. Added to by the Torch landings in Morocco & Algeria the Allies would converge in Tunisia & eventually remove the Axis from North Africa.

The war in North africa?

The axis forces had invaded Northern Africa to go after OIL. Ethiopia and a few other places had oil. So the Allied forces went after the Axis forces to get them out of Northern Africa and deprive them of oil. England needed the Suez Canal ship supplies from India, Australia, and the Far East. Mussolini threatened the canal and Hitler had to bail him out when he got into trouble. Hitler would have preferred to have used the forces in Russia.

What year did the allies push Germany out of North Africa?

The Allies were never able to push the Germans out of North Africa completely, but the substantial force was wiped out. The comprised German force in North Africa had retreated and the Vichy French forces loyal to Germany were arranged when they found that Hitler was going to take full control of Italy, throwing out the Vichy French forces from the command. All Bichy French forces surrendered to Allies after that statement made by Hitler. Go figure.
