The Battle of El Alamein, fought between October and November 1942 during World War II, was primarily caused by the strategic push of Axis forces, particularly the German and Italian troops led by General Erwin Rommel, into North Africa. Their aim was to seize control of the Suez Canal and access Middle Eastern oil supplies. The Allies, under British General Bernard Montgomery, sought to halt this advance and protect vital shipping routes. The battle marked a significant turning point, as the Allies successfully repelled the Axis forces, leading to their retreat from North Africa.
