Why did churchhill and roosevelt want to attack German-controlled areas in the north Africa before areas in Europe?

Churchill and Roosevelt aimed to attack German-controlled areas in North Africa primarily to gain a strategic foothold and weaken Axis powers in the Mediterranean. By targeting North Africa, they sought to secure vital shipping routes, protect British interests in the Suez Canal, and alleviate pressure on Soviet forces in Europe. This approach also allowed Allied forces to build experience and resources before launching a more direct assault on well-fortified German positions in Europe.
