## Copilot

During World War II, Sudan played a significant role as a major theater of military
operations and a crucial supply center for the Allied Forces in North Africa and
the Middle East. Here's what happened:
- Strategic Position: Situated between Egypt and Libya in the north and Italian-
occupied Ethiopia in the east, Sudan's involvement in the war was inevitable.
- Italian Attacks: The Italians occupied parts of Sudan's territories and launched
air strikes on major towns like Khartoum and Atbara. Key border towns, including
Kassala and Gedarif, were also occupied.
- Ethiopian Refugees: Sudan received an influx of Ethiopian refugees after Italy's
occupation of Ethiopia. It became a base for training and organizing Ethiopian
resistance.
- Sudanese Troops: Sudanese troops played a critical role in liberating Ethiopia
and supporting the North African military campaign .
