North Africa Campaign

The North Africa Campaign was a major theatre of World War II fought in North Africa fought primarily between Commonwealthball and the  Kingdom of Italyball along with their respective allies from 1940 until 1943. Starting in 1940, Italyball had its troops sent to invade due to the small presence of British troops. After some successes, the British pushed out the Italians and by 1941, Nazi Germanyball intervened in the conflict sending the  Afrika Korps under the command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in support of the Italian war effort and to keep North Africa in Axis hands. As the war escalated, USAball officially joined the war and sent troops to North Africa and minor nations like  Kingdom of Greeceball and troops from occupied  Polandball and  Czechoslovakiaball.

When Operation Sonnenblume was launched by the Germans, it helped keep North Africa in Axis control and helped Rommel earn his title of the "Desert Fox" by the allies. In 1942, American troops were sent to North Africa and the front was of great benefit to Soviet Unionball as Joseph Stalin had longed called for the opening of a new front to relieve pressure on the Red Army which was fighting in the Eastern Front and that wish was finally granted. By 1943, the Axis forces had surrendered and that same year, the Allied Powers invaded Italyball through Sicilyball starting the Italian Campaign and later, the Italian Civil War.
