Question 8 • TX-US History Studies Since 1877 B-Runnels

What was the result when US troops fought Field Marshall Rommel’s Afrika Korps in the Battle of Kasserine Pass?

Answer
A
US forces held out until reinforcements arrived and won the battle.
B
US forces easily defeated the weakened German forces.
C
US forces were forced to retreat by German troops.
D
US forces were driven out of North Africa by German troops.

Explanation

At Kasserine Pass in February 1943, Rommel’s German forces defeated the inexperienced U.S. troops and forced them to retreat. The Allies regrouped and continued fighting in North Africa, so the U.S. forces were not driven out of the region. The correct choice is “US forces were forced to retreat by German troops.”
