The battle of El Alamein fought in North Africa for the majority of it. Axis and allied forces wanted north Africa simply for their resources, it would have been a vital supplier of oil. There where two battles of El Alamein, the first was between Italy and Germany ( The axis forces) and the Panzer African army, and allied forces but mostly British. This battle was halted, specifically because it was too dangerous with the Suez Canal. From October 23rd to November 11th 1942 the second battle took place in El Alamein, this battle turned out to be a victory for the allied forces! This ended the threat of axis powers having access to oil in north Africa.
