Question

what was the outcome of the battle of el alamein?
american forces drove german troops out of egypt.
operation torch became a victory for the allies.
british forces defeated the afrika korps
axis forces retreated to tunisia.

Explanation:

The Battle of El Alamein was a significant battle in North Africa during World War II. British forces, under the command of General Bernard Montgomery, successfully defeated the German - Italian Afrika Korps led by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. This victory halted the Axis advance in North Africa.

• Option A is incorrect because it was the British, not American forces that were the main combatants in this battle.
• Option B: Operation Torch was a separate Allied invasion of French North Africa, not directly the outcome of the Battle of El Alamein.
• Option D: While Axis forces did eventually retreat further, the immediate outcome of the Battle of El Alamein was the defeat of the Afrika Korps by the British, not just a retreat to Tunisia as the main outcome description.

Answer:

C. British forces defeated the Afrika Korps
