About this quiz

What you’ll cover in the desert war

From Operation Compass to El Alamein and the Tunisia finale, this quiz follows the North Africa campaign’s major milestones and why they mattered.

You’ll practice connecting names, places, and outcomes—linking offensives, retreats, and supply realities into a clear timeline.

Format, difficulty, and how to play

Each question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through dates, commanders, and operational goals without rushing.

Set your preferred question count before starting, and choose a difficulty level that fits your confidence; “Mixed” blends straightforward landmark events with deeper cuts to keep the challenge balanced.

Common pitfalls to avoid

  • Mixing up similarly named operations and phases (especially across 1941–1942)
  • Confusing commanders’ roles as leadership changed between offensives
  • Swapping battle locations (Libya vs. Egypt vs. Tunisia) when fronts shifted quickly
  • Overlooking logistics and air/naval factors that shaped land outcomes
  • Misplacing key turning points on the timeline by a few months

How the challenge stays balanced

Expect a steady mix of big, well-known moments and more specific details, so you can build momentum while still being tested. If you miss a question, use it as a cue to revisit the sequence of events and the objective of each operation.
