US forces easily defeated the weakened German forces.

Explanation

At Kasserine Pass in February 1943, Rommel’s forces inflicted a serious defeat on inexperienced US troops and forced them to retreat. The Germans did not drive the Americans out of North Africa; US forces regrouped and continued fighting there. So the result was that US forces were forced to retreat by German troops.
