Mare Norsrum means "Our Sea" in Latin. The story of this episode is how the Axis powers
tried to take control of Greece, the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Suez Canal. They failed
on the last three. Hitler pressured the Italian Navy to take more iniative and attack the Royal Navy
of Great Britain. Without any aircraft carriers, the Italians did not fare well, so control
of the Mediterranean remained with the Allies. In North Africa, the German Afrika Corps led by
Irwin Rommel defeated the British at Tuburk, but ultimately failed on the whole thanks to the
navies of the United States and Great Britain for keeping the supply lines open. In the end,
Rommel was forced out of Africa all together. The Suez Canal remained always in Allied control.
