Operation Torch was a big turning point. This was the invasion of North Africa, in 1942. American and British forces landed on 3 islands, Casablanca, Morocco, and two on the Mediterranean sea. The planning of this invasion was very difficult because the British and Americans wanted to land different places. The point of view of the other side was that the people in North Africa had no idea about the invasion that was going to happen, and also the British and American armies together made up a lot of people, so it was easy to take over the different islands.
