Atlantic Campaign

The Atlantic Campaign refers to the prolonged military struggle during World War II between Allied naval forces and Axis powers, mainly Germany, over control of the Atlantic Ocean. The goal was to secure shipping routes vital for transporting troops, supplies, and equipment across the Atlantic to Europe. The campaign involved battles against German submarines (U-boats), which aimed to sink Allied supply ships, disrupting the war effort. Allied innovations like convoy systems, sonar, and air escorts eventually turned the tide, ensuring safer passage for vital resources and contributing significantly to the Allies’ victory in Europe.
