Africa did not join the Axis Powers. Italy and Germany wanted land and resources, especially rubber and oil. Therefore the Germans tried to conquer North Africa and parts of East Africa. Rashid Ali al-Galani staged a coup in Iraq to join his German friends. The British sent troops to Syria and Iraq. The German General Rommel attacked Libya in 1941. The Italians tried to conquer Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya. The Germans sent the Italians some help. The British and South Africans sent troops. Eventually the Allies were victorious.
