Pinchbeck, Steve. War in the Desert The Allied Victory in North Africa.  2004. http://www.ez-zone.co.uk/ww2desert/overview.htm 

 

This web page was very helpful for us.  It had an easy to understand timeline of the main events of North Africa during World War II.  It is intended for anyone interested in 20th century History.  Mostly it is a web page based entirely on the warfare in North Africa.  Along with the timeline, the website also offered very descriptive explanations of important commanders, generals, and leaders during this time period.  The person who wrote this site obtained all their information from an older relative who experience it.  It offers over 90 pictures and visuals. 

 

The Battle for Tunisia. May 2004. http://home.sandiego.edu/~bclark/Introduction.html

 

The website on the Battle of Tunisia gave us a clearly stated understanding of the transition of events from the Battle of El Alamein to the Battle of Tunisia.  It helped us realize that this was not just one battle, but many battles over the course of a year.  It also told us how the battles finally ended in North Africa to end the war there.  The timelines and maps of this website were very helpful to our studies.  Anyone who wants to focus on one aspect of the war in North Africa should visit this site.

 

 

The Story of Africa Between World Wars (1914-1945). BBC World Service. April 15, 2004.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/africa/features/storyofafrica/13chapter12.shtml

 

This website gave us some more good background information and a more broad view of the war in North Africa.  This was the first website we read to understand the complex war fought between the Allied and Axis powers.  It is directed toward a younger audience requiring easier reading and understanding.  Although there weren’t many special features to this website, things were clearly stated and very beneficial to our project.

 

The World War II Study North Africa. April 15, 2002. http://www.topedge.com/panels/ww2/na/noframe.html

 

This website focused a lot on Montgomery and his victory at El Alamein.  It also gave us good background information on a lot of the events leading to World War II.  This web page is probably intended for people with a higher level of knowledge with the war in North Africa, as we found it a little difficult to understand right away.  This site gave us some very good quotes that we used in our overview about Montgomery’s defeats and the overall war in North Africa.
