When the United States entered World War II in Europe, their first major military action was the invasion of North Africa in November 1942, known as Operation Torch. This campaign aimed to secure control of North Africa and prepare for an eventual invasion of Southern Europe. The U.S. forces, alongside British troops, targeted Vichy French-controlled territories to gain a foothold against Axis powers. This marked the beginning of American combat operations in the European theater.
