Battle of El Alamein

The Battle of El Alamein, fought in late 1942 during World War II, was a crucial confrontation in the North African campaign between Allied forces, led by British General Bernard Montgomery, and German-Italian troops commanded by General Erwin Rommel. It marked a turning point in the war, as the Allies successfully halted the Axis advance towards the Suez Canal and began to push them back. The battle highlighted the importance of logistics, tactics, and cooperation among Allied forces, ultimately leading to Allied victories in North Africa and setting the stage for further operations in Europe.
