Why was the allied invasion of north Africa important?
The Russians wanted the Allies to begin a second front since they were doing all the fighting against Hitler and Moscow insisted that the Allies get into the war. Many Americans were eager to begin an invasion of France in 1942-43 but it was feared that the Soviets would make a separate peace with Germany as they had in 1918 and leave the Allies to face Hitler alone. The British were not eager about a frontal assault on German held France and preferred to attack through the "soft underbelly" of the Mediterranean. An invasion of French held North Africa was a compromise second front. It seemed less risky and would be a partial answer to the Russian demands. If successful it would open the the Axis dominated Mediterranean to lifeline communication with India and other parts of Asia. The attack was started on Nov. 1942 with about 850 ships employed. From the start it was very successful with the neutralized French only put up a token resistance, but the campaign was not conclusive. Yet, lessons were learned to help with the invasion of France.
