The U.S.-British Coalition forces made a preemptive strike in the landing campaign in North Africa and achieved success, which is of great strategic significance to the allied forces. It created favorable conditions for the allied forces to control the Tunisian channel and then control the whole Mediterranean, and then launch the landing campaigns in Sicily and Normandy, and completely lift the long-term siege of malta island by German and Italian troops. It also laid the groundwork for the U.S.-British Coalition forces to launch a pincer-like offensive against the Germans in North Africa. Rommel's once dominant troops were caught between Scylla and Charybdis and eventually collapsed in Tunisia.
