English philosopher of history Collingwood was convinced that the main task of philosophy of the twentieth century tribute to the history of the twentieth century! «Wise philosopher was supposed to be at any price to concentrate all their efforts on the problems of history. By doing so he will take part in laying the foundations of the future». The philosophy of a modern epoch is expressed in thoughts (Hegel). Philosophy must therefore summarize the history. The story must be permeated with philosophical self-awareness, and philosophy should be based on historical experience. For the philosophy of history is not as interesting object of historical research as its «subjective» reflection of the thoughts, the historical consciousness, which, in turn, must be adequately reproduced in the thoughts of the historian. The article gives the analysis of the military actions during the Second world war on the African continent. The defeat of France and the beginning of the battle of Britain seriously shake the English position in the Mediterranean and the middle East. The defeat of the Italians, the successes and failures of the British, bold and decisive actions of the German troops - this is all about fighting for Africa. The British military was used in North Africa tactics developed during the war in the colonies. The massive use of forces and means were not. Military command of the English army was left behind the new ways and forms of modern warfare. Military action in North Africa, as well as other minor theatres of the Second world war, had a negligible value and have not had an appreciable influence on its outcome. The British military had got rid of organic diseases, which are manifested in the martial art of this country in the First world war, 1914-1918. Hitler never gave the Mediterranean such a large value as the British. For him, it was just an unfortunate obstacle. Distracting him from war destruction, which he led on the Eastern front.
