zubka84 [21]

The correct answers are number 1) they wanted control over natural resources, and 3) gaining command of oil supplies was important.

<em>Both, the Axis and the Allied powers wanted to control North Africa because they wanted control over natural resources, and gaining command of oil supplies was important.</em>

North Africa became a key region during World War II for a simple reason. Both, the Allied forces and the Axis powers wanted to control the Suex Canal for transportation purposes. It was a strategic point for accessing the oil in the Middle East. Modern armies required oil for the maintenance of the machines and vehicles, that is why oil from the Middle East was so important. So both, the Axis and the Allied powers wanted to control North Africa because they wanted control over natural resources, and gaining command of oil supplies was important.
