Why Did Britain Invade French Madagascar in World War II?
British forces were compelled to invade the island off the coast of East Africa amid fears of a Japanese invasion.
Here s What You Need to Know: Churchill called the campaign for Madagascar “our first large-scale amphibious operation since the Dardanelles.”
“The first I saw of Madagascar and the last after adventurous months ashore was the eerie color of the soil,” a British novelist turned security sergeant would write a decade later.
“It gave to the sky, the vegetation, and the people a strangeness, even a deathliness which still shadows my recollections of the island. For the soil and the dust which rose from it to cake our skins and clothes, our eyelids and nostrils was not brick-colored or terra cotta but the color of dried blood.”
The rest of what we saw in Green Bay from the Titans, not so much.
Things snowballed – pun intended – in the team s ugly loss to the Packers, and it kept the Titans from securing the AFC South title.
But not all is lost, because it s a new week, and there s a big opportunity on the horizon – win on Sunday against the Texans in Houston, and the Titans will be division champs.

Green Bay had the same conditions to play in and just pounded us in every aspect
