In the European theater of World War II, 1942 marked the dominance of the Axis powers. German forces in the Soviet Union had reached Stalingrad and threatened the oil fields of the Caucasus; Axis forces in Africa seemed on the verge of pushing the British out of Egypt; and German U-boat wolf packs preyed on Allied shipping with relative impunity [1].

agreement in Algiers in December 2000. The Organization of African Unity (now Africa Union), Algeria, the European Union, and the United States served as guarantors of the agreements.. The war led both to be obdurate and made de-escalation difficult. The violence generated considerable casualties and huge costs on both sides. An estimated 70,000 to 100,000 people were killed, 1 million were displaced, and a generation of development opportunities was squandered. Under the Algiers Agreement, ceasefire
