The Battle of Tug Argan was fought between … The Battle of Tug Argan was fought between forces of the British Empire and Italy from 11 to 15 August 1940 in British Somaliland (later the independent and renamed Somalia). The battle determined the result of the Italian conquest of British Somaliland after the Italian invasion and the larger East African Campaign of the Second World War. Italian invasion forces were advancing northwards on a north-south road toward the colonial capital of Berbera through the Tug Argan gap (named after the dry riverbed tug running across it) in the Assa hills, when they encountered British units lying in fortified positions on a number of widely distributed hills across its breadth. Italian infantry, after an intense four-day encounter, overran the undermanned British positions and were able to seize the gap, compelling the defenders to withdraw to Berbera. The Italian victory made the position of British forces in Somaliland untenable; the British colonial authorities evacuated the garrison by sea. Italy was able to quickly secure the territory, an achievement whose propaganda value to a bellicose Fascist regime would ultimately outweigh its relatively minute strategic importance.ts relatively minute strategic importance.
, La bataille de Tug Argan oppose les Britan … La bataille de Tug Argan oppose les Britanniques à l’Italie entre le 11 et 15 août 1940 dans le Somaliland britannique, situé dans l’actuelle Somalie. Elle débouche sur une victoire transalpine et sur la conquête de la colonie britannique et fait partie des premiers engagements de la campagne d’Afrique de l’Est. Les forces italiennes viennent de lancer l’invasion du Somaliland, une colonie de peu d’importance stratégique et mal défendue. Elles se dirigent vers la capitale Berbera via la vallée asséchée de Tug Argan, dans la chaîne montagneuse d’Assa. Les Britanniques tentent de s’opposer à leur progression depuis des positions fortifiées dans les collines environnantes. Après quatre jours de combats intenses, les Italiens finissent par submerger les Britanniques qui doivent se replier sur Berbera. Cette défaite met en péril les positions britanniques dans le Somaliland et le haut-commandement doit se résoudre à une évacuation navale de la garnison de Berbera. L’Italie peut alors s’emparer de la région entière, ce que la propagande fasciste ne tarde pas à glorifier en dépit du peu d’importance stratégique de cette conquête.’importance stratégique de cette conquête.
