25 multiple choice 1 point what was the purpose of operation torch in africa? to move through the english channel and liberate france from the nazis. to begin \island hopping\ nearer to axis powers. to distract germany and to create a base for an invasion of italy. to force mussolini and hitler to resign.

Explanation:

Operation Torch was the Allied amphibious invasion of North Africa in 1942. Its goals included drawing German military resources away from other fronts and establishing a foothold to launch a subsequent invasion of Italy, which was part of the Axis powers. The other options are incorrect: liberating France via the English Channel refers to the D-Day landings, island hopping was a Pacific Theater strategy, and the operation did not aim directly to force Hitler and Mussolini to resign.

Answer:

To distract Germany and to create a base for an invasion of Italy.
