Tunisian Campaign

The Tunisian Campaign (1942-1943) was a pivotal series of World War II battles in North Africa, where Allied forces, primarily from the United States and United Kingdom, fought against Axis troops, mainly from Germany and Italy. Following the successful landing in North Africa, the Allies aimed to defeat Axis forces in Tunisia to secure control of the region. The campaign culminated in May 1943 with the surrender of approximately 250,000 Axis soldiers, marking a significant turning point in the war, as it allowed the Allies to launch further operations in Europe, ultimately leading to the liberation of the continent.
