The Battle of El Alamein, fought from October 23 to November 11, 1942, was the decisive engagement that halted Erwin Rommel's advance in North Africa. The British Eighth Army, under General Bernard Montgomery, successfully repelled the Axis forces, marking a significant turning point in the North African campaign. This victory not only stopped Rommel's advance but also initiated the retreat of German and Italian troops from North Africa.
