Tunisia Campaign

The Tunisia Campaign was a series of military operations during World War II in late 1942 and 1943, aimed at defeating Axis forces (Germany and Italy) in North Africa. Allied forces, mainly from Britain and the United States, fought to gain control of Tunisia, a strategic location that served as a gateway to Europe and the Mediterranean. The campaign involved land, air, and sea battles across desert and coastal terrains. Its success led to the surrender of Axis forces in North Africa, opening a pathway for the Allies to invade Italy and ultimately pushing the Axis powers back in Europe.
