Solution

The correct option is B 1942
Italy invaded the British colonies of North Africa in 1940. It included campaigns fought in the Libyan and Egyptian deserts, in Morocco and Algeria, as well as Tunisia. The Allies united under British General Montgomery, and struck at the ‘El Alamein’ in Egypt in 1942. They chased off the Axis army from El Alamein across the desert and out of North Africa.
