Question

Which of the following was a goal of the North Africa Offensive?
A to prevent the Axis powers from establishing full control of the Mediterranean region
B to draw Hitler's army to Africa so Western Europe could be invaded
C to force Mussolini to remain in Africa where his troops could not aid Hitler's
D to re-establish Italian control of its former colonies in North Africa

Answer 1

From the Allied perspective, (A) makes the most sense. German forces were sent in to help Mussolini's forces in North Africa, driving the British back all the way to Egypt. If they managed to take North Africa, they could secure not only the Mediterranean but also pave the way to the Middle East, so the Allies had to launch an offensive to keep that from happening as well as to keep Hitler's forces off balance.
