Did Axis powers occupy whole or parts of Morocco Tunisia and Algeria during World War 2?

Briefly yes, mostly the areas near the northern, Mediterranean coast. These nations were all colonies of European nations. Morocco was divided between France and Spain, and Algeria and Tunisia were French colonies. After the Germans conquered France they installed a puppet government in France, called the "Vichy Regime". This was the national government of France, and was an ally of Germany.

Italy tried to conquer Libya, and made such a mess of it that Hitler had to step in and help them out. The Germans sent the Afrika Korps to help the Italians fight the British troops, which were based in the British colonies of Egypt and Palestine.

US troops landed in November 1942 in Morocco and Algeria, and for three or four days the Vichy French military forces tried to fight them, before giving up and changing sides.

The British were pushing the Afrika Korps westward from Egypt, and US forces closed in from behind, and the end of the struggle came in Tunisia, with the Germans and Italians completely defeated.

Absolutely not... It is still a very socially stigmatized and condemned practice to be engaged in homosexual practices in Albania... This is not a biased or personal view of mine. It is a fact.

You may even be deported or blacklisted from ever returning to the county if any immigration official learns of your endeavor to either engage in homosexual activity, or to marry a same sex partner.

What material are the houses in Algeria made out of?

In Algeria, traditional houses are often constructed using local materials such as mudbrick (adobe), stone, and clay. These materials provide excellent insulation against the region's extreme temperatures. In urban areas, modern houses may be built from concrete, steel, and other contemporary materials, but traditional building techniques remain prevalent in rural settings. The choice of materials often reflects the climate and available resources in different regions of the country.

What is the relationship of Algeria to the US?

Algeria and the United States of America share a long history of friendly ties. The oldest permanent settlement established by Europeans in the United States (in Florida, founded in 1563), was named after another great figure of the Algerian history: Saint Augustine. Santa Monica was named after the mother of Saint Augustine. The city Elkader in Iowa which was named after him is the only town in the United States named after a Berber.

Also in September 5, 1795, when the two countries signed the Treaty of Amity and Peace, a few years after the official recognition of the independence of the young American Republic by the State of Algeria (1783). Algeria was among the first countries that recognized the independence of the United States.

In July 2001, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika became the first Algerian President to visit the White House since 1985. This visit, followed by a second meeting in November 2001, a meeting in New York in September 2003, and President Bouteflika's participation at the June 2004 G8 Sea Island Summit, is indicative of the growing relationship between the United States and Algeria. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, contacts in key areas of mutual concern, including law enforcement and counter-terrorism cooperation, have intensified. Algeria publicly condemned the terrorist attacks on the United States and has been strongly supportive of the international war against terrorism. The United States and Algeria consult closely on key international and regional issues.
