- American join in 1942 under Dwight D. Eisenhower
The British represented by Montgomery and the desert rats faced off against Germany's Romell and the Afrika Korps in North Africa. The conflict was based on the desire for the possession of the Suez canal, and the surplus of oil in the middle east. Montgomery is victorious in the end, and as a result the Germans cannot occupy the Suez canal, and are deprived of extra oil.
