Best Answer

The Allies chose to invade North Africa before attempting a direct invasion of German-occupied France for several reasons. The first: their forces were not yet strong enough to face the full weight of the German Army on the Continent. Secondly, British military leaders argued persuasively that clearing the Mediterranean of enemy forces would expose the "soft underbelly" of the Axis in Europe.
