Operation+Torch

By: Sarah
==On November 8th 1942, allies planned an Algol-American invasion of Northwestern Africa, in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. A territory in the hands of the French government. Much of Africa was already under allied control, this allowed the allies to carry out operations against the axis powers in North Africa. Huge fleets of mostly American troops land in Morocco and Algeria. These areas were being controlled by French colonies who put up very little resistance. The Germans rushed troops into Tunisia. After a very long and hard struggle, the Germans surrendered in may of 1943, leaving all of North Africa in the allied hands. ==
