Answer:

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.

Answer:

Explanation:

The North African military campaigns of World War II were waged between September 13, 1940, and May 13, 1943. They were strategically important for both the Western Allies and the Axis powers. The Axis powers aimed to deprive the Allies of access to Middle Eastern oil supplies, to secure and increase Axis access to the oil, and to cut off Britain from the material and human resources of its empire in Asia and Africa.

In addition, after the disastrous defeat in western Europe in spring 1940, the North African campaign offered the Allies the opportunity to open up a new front against the Axis, and, after Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, to ease German pressure on the eastern front.

Which statements best describe third-party politics since 1860? Select all that apply.
Pepsi [2]

A third party is any party which compites for votes since it has failed to outpoll its two strongest rivals. These political parties rarely win elections because their proportional representations are not used in federal or state elections, only in some municipal elections. In the U.S. electoral politics, a third party could be the Libertarians and Greens, while the most important leading political parties are the Democrats as well as the Republicans.

Third-party politics since 1860 are best described by the following options...

1) The Bull Moose party was formed by a former Republican President and Jane Adams. The Progressive Party or The Bull Moose Party which was created by Roosevelt and his delegates became a third party in the election of 1912.

3) The Reformed party, led by Ross Perot, tried to make a run in the race between George H. Bush and Bill Clinton. The Reform Party was founded in 1995 by Ross Perot who received 18.9% of the popular vote as an independent candidate in the 1992 presidential election.
