It was continuous back-and-forth struggle fought by the Axis powers — at first only from Fascist Italy, although Nazi Germany later became the dominant partner — against the Allies, represented primarily by Commonwealth forces. After entering World War II, the United States supplied a small US Army Air Force contingent in support of the campaign.
