During World War II, the continent of Africa became embroiled in the fighting because of the European colonies and territories located there. Italy, France, Belgium, and Great Britain were combatants who controlled significant portions of Africa when the war began; thus, during the war, these portions of Africa were contested by military forces from each side.
