The war in North Africa initially saw Axis forces, primarily Italian and German troops, gaining territory, culminating in the capture of Tobruk in 1942. However, the tide turned with the Allied victory at the Second Battle of El Alamein later that year, leading to a series of successful offensives that pushed Axis forces out of North Africa by May 1943. Following this, Allied forces invaded Italy in July 1943, resulting in the fall of Sicily and the eventual surrender of Italy in September 1943. The campaign in Italy continued with fierce fighting until the Allies captured Rome in June 1944, marking a significant step towards liberating the country.
