Explanation:

• Allied forces defeated German forces in Egypt: This was the Second Battle of El - Alamein. Allied forces (led by British General Bernard Montgomery) defeated German forces (led by Erwin Rommel). The victory halted the German advance in North Africa and was a turning - point in the North African Campaign.
• Allies forced the Germans and Italians out of North Africa: After the Second Battle of El - Alamein, the Allies (under the command of Dwight D. Eisenhower) launched Operation Torch (November 1942 - May 1943). Through a series of campaigns, including the Tunisia Campaign, the Axis powers (Germany and Italy) were completely driven out of North Africa by May 1943.
• Allies captured the island of Sicily: Operation Husky (July 9 - August 17, 1943). The Allied invasion of Sicily was a major step in the Italian Campaign. It led to the overthrow of Benito Mussolini's regime in Italy.
• Soviet forces push the German army out of their country: After the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 - February 1943), which was a major turning - point on the Eastern Front, the Soviet Union went on the offensive. Through a series of battles such as the Battle of Kursk (July - August 1943) and subsequent offensives, the Red Army gradually pushed the German army out of Soviet territory. By 1944, large - scale Soviet offensives like Operation Bagration (June - August 1944) were pushing the Germans back towards Germany.
• Meeting between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin: The Yalta Conference (February 4 - 11, 1945). The "Big Three" (Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin) met to discuss post - war arrangements. They made decisions regarding the occupation of Germany, the future of Poland, and the establishment of the United Nations.
