In World War II, the North African campaign was a roughly three-year struggle between Axis and Allied forces for control of the North African portion of the Mediterranean Basin. With the help of Australian troops, among many others, Great Britain advanced from Egypt to meet up with American troops advancing from the west such that, in early 1943, North Africa was Allied-controlled.

The theater of World War II most closely associated with the surrender of the Germans in North Africa was the North African Campaign. This campaign primarily took place between 1940 and 1943 and involved Allied forces, led by the British Eighth Army, battling against Axis forces, led by German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. The campaign culminated in the decisive Battle of El Alamein, which forced the German and Italian forces to retreat and ultimately surrender in May 1943.

The North African Campaign
This question refers to the Union's Overland campaign in Virginia in 1864. The campaign began with the Battle of the Wilderness and ended with the Battle of Cold Harbor. The campaign took six weeks and involved three armies, about 200,000 men and produced large numbers of casualties. The North army under US Grant accumulated 64,000 casualties, and 36,000 of them on the South's army led by Robert E. Lee.
The South was the location of the vast majority of the conflicts, and it was invaded by armies from the North that eventually occupied most of the Confederate states. Blockades of Southern ports eventually crippled the commerce of the South. Also, the greater population of the North meant they had generally larger armies. Only one major campaign was launched into the North, and it ended at Gettysburg.
