During World War II, South Africa played a significant role as part of the Allied forces. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Jan Smuts, South Africa declared war on Germany on September 6, 1939. The country contributed significantly to the war effort, providing troops, resources, and strategic bases. South African forces participated in key campaigns in North Africa, Italy, and Madagascar, with notable involvement in battles such as El Alamein and the Italian Campaign. The Union Defense Force expanded rapidly, and South African pilots served with distinction in the Royal Air Force. Domestically, the war effort spurred industrial growth and economic development, although it also highlighted and exacerbated racial tensions and segregation policies. South Africa's participation in the war marked a period of intense national contribution and sacrifice, influencing its post-war political and social landscape.
