The war in the deserts of Egypt & Libya were important for two reasons.

Firstly, Britain stood alone and desparately needed to safeguard the Suez Canal which was her short-cut to the East.

Secondly, as far as Britain was concerned, it was the only game in town. France had fallen, Britain had narrowly avoided invasion from the Germans. Britain was not strong enough to take the fight back to Europe and all she had left was (still) the most powerful navy in the world and a foothold in North Africa.

To begin with Britain was fighting the Italians who were trying to expand their Empire. They made short work of them and soon pushed them back deep into Libya. Hitler then agreed to help Mussolini and sent Rommel with his Afrika Korps. This was a shock to the British who were thrown all the way back to a small railway halt called El Alamein where the 'impassable' Qattara Depression came close to the sea. There they held the Germans while both sides struggled to build up enough strength to break the impasse.

Eventually, General Montgomery leading the 8th Army, launched a devastating blow on Rommel which forced him back. Montgomery kept up his advantage and never allowed Rommel to re-group or counter-attack.

Soon afterwards the Americans landed in Vichy-French controlled Algeria in West Africa and between Montgomery in the East and Patton in the West slowly squeezed Rommel out of Africa altogether. From there combined British/American forces launched an invasion of Sicily and then Italy while the D-Day landings were being planned in England. The success of D-Day and the German troops held down in Southern Europe hastened the end of the Nazi regime.

Of major importance too was to block German attack routes to India and in particular the oil in the Caucasus

The African campaign was also important because I believe it was the first time that Germany had proven to be beatable. Rommel had an impeccable reputation and there was a myth about him that he was unbeatable. It is nteresting to note that Rommel was executed by Hitler for wanting to overthrow Hitler. Romel was given a state funeral so he could be honoured by the German people. The question comes to my mind as to whether the defeat was orchestrated in terms of wanting to make Hitler look bad so that people would turn against him and Romel could take over.

The language that is mostly spoken in The Sahara Desert is Arabic

Most speak Arabic.
what languages do they speak in the sahra desert

No one really knows. Not a lot of research has been done on the Sahara because it is so windy. Scientistscan't exactelyy study it untill the dust bowl is over. hope this helped fellow samaritons!

Most of those who live in countries covered by the Sahara Desert live in North Africa along or near the Mediterranean coastline
Most people in the Sahara desert live near the Nile River because it is one of the only reliable water sources.

The Yangtze River Dolphin (lipotes vexillifer) that is thought to have gone extinct this year but scientists believe that there may a handful left but they cannot confirn that there is even that many left, thay cant seem to locate them. If it is not the Yangtze River Dolphin, then it would be a speicies of rabbit called the Riverine rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis). Good question! It's a stumper.

Every one know that the Sahara desert is the world's largest hot desert - a vast ocean of sand where the heat is so terriable that men and animals die of thirst. But it was once beautiful, green and fertile place. Scientist belive that around 10,000 B.C., the Earth's orbit wobbled slightly, causing a shift in weather patterns. The monsoons which drench Southern Africa to day shift up, pouring water into the Sahara, where it forrmed bodies of water. plant life flourished and plants were followed by animals and humans, who established lively civilizations. When weather pattern shifted again, the Sahara turned to being a desert once more.

The Sahel is not a desert. It is a distinct biome, a grassland, bordering the southern Sahara.

animals that live in the Sahara desert adapt not only because they are used to the heat but also because they have tongues to pant. like dogs. they pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant and pant until they drop dead.

Not that much

Sand sheets, mountains, dunes, plateaus, (ect.)

"they get food and then that food gets digested into the saliva and terned into a kinda liquid and then that gives them energy when they need it. and any way snakes only use energy when they strike pray and when the are waiting to strike the don't use much energy so they don't need much. there is a snake in the amazon rain forest which can live without food for months without dieing"

Not exactly. An animal is always using energy to keep itself alive. The question is how much energy is used. Snakes do try to stay in the shade and stay still, but that is to regulate their temperature. Snakes and other reptiles are ectothermic, they get much of their energy from the sun. The do not regulate their body temperature like humans do. If we get too hot we sweat to cool down; if we get too cold we shiver to make heat. Snakes can't do that, they have to either find a cooler, or warmer place to stay.

Snakes can go a long time between eating by slowing down their metabolism, or how fast their body uses energy.

Snakes in the Sarah have specific adaptions to living in such a hot area. First, many use a side-winding type of locomotion, just like the Side-Winder in the United States. This allows them to move over loose sand without sinking in.

Secondly, there are certain snakes there called Saw-Scales. They reduce water loss by not hissing to warn off predators. You lose water every time you breath or speak. These snakes reduced that by making a hissing sound when they rub their scales together instead of hissing out loud.

Snakes also avoid water loss by excreting less water than mammals.

The two physical features that make the Sahara Desert more livable are the oasis and the plants.

Sahara is A desert. ONE desert. It is Not divided into sub-deserts. Sahara is in Africa.

Yes they do live there.

The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert and covers most of northern Africa. ... However, most of the Sahara is characterized as rocky hamada, a type of desert ... is an experience you will never forget and one which we hope will ... I wonder what else we'd find there if we did more research in that area.

well it depends if your crossing right through or just one part, or if your walking or driving or using a camel/horse etc. and theres several other variables to consider.

normally it takes about 2days- 1 week in a car

on foot 40 days

and on animal bout 20 or so.

but if depends on the stops you take, on weather etc.

some people take almost a year and some only a matter of days

The Sahara covers most of the northern half of Africa.

most of the Sahara is flat, but there are some very high mountains in western and central parts.

No unless its part of a name like the Sahara Desert

The rain in the Sahara is less than 10 inches a year. People cannot survive without water. There are few lakes. Most of these anyway are saltwater lakes. People cannot drink from them. Lake Chad is the only freshwater lake in the desert. Rivers once ran through the Sahara. We know this because dried up riverbeds, called wadis, still exist. When it does rain in the desert, these wadis fill up with water and become active rivers for a short time.

Half of the Sahara receives less than 2 centimetres (0.79 in) of rain a year, with the rest receiving up to 10 cm (3.9 in) a year. The rainfall happens very rarely, but when it does it is usually torrential when it occurs after long dry periods (which can last for years).
