The first BATTLE of El Alamein, not conflict, was a large scale battle of the Allied (the Great British, South American, Australian, New Zealand and British Indian armies) versus the axis (German and Italian) armies. It took place from July 1-27 1942. It was near Al Alamein, which was in the allied-controlled middle east. At first, the axis attacked the fortified area with very small and exhausted forces. The armies were pushed back, and the allies held, but after a large scale allied attack the allies broke through the enemy lines in some areas. But, the allies were then exhausted and retreated. It all turned out to be a stalemate. The second battle of Al Alemain took place from October 23- November 4 1942. The British, under General Montgomery, launched large attacks on the axis, who later wer pushed back out of Egypt and even later out of the Middle east.
Germany was hated after WWI. By and large they had no allies. This, by the way, was in large part what led eventually to WWII. There is a lesson here.
The first large battle of the US Civil War was fought
