How is the turning point of the North African campaign best described?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The turning point of the North African campaign is best described as occurring at El Alamein, where the British forces under General Montgomery halted and then pushed back Field Marshal Rommel's German-Italian forces in October-November 1942. This victory shifted the momentum of the war in North Africa in favor of the Allies and marked the start of their advance towards Tunisia. The other options are incorrect as South African troops did not cross the Sahara to defeat Rommel and the Vichy French surrendering to the Allies did not have a significant impact on the campaign.
