This was a battle the Germans should never have won. They didnt know it, but EVERYTHING was stacked against them. If Hitler and the Generals had known the real facts, they would NEVER have launched this attack.

China has a dominant hold on the rare earth elements market, controlling 60% of global production and 85% of processing capacity. In light of growing geopolitical tensions around China and Taiwan, the U.S, Australia, Canada, and other countries are seeking to reduce their reliance on China as a source of rare earths production and processing, writes Gracelin Baskaran for the Brookings Institution.
This opens up a window of opportunity for African countries. With their rich endowment of key commodities, African countries can leverage this search for new sources of rare earth elements to bring in much-needed revenue to finance core socio-economic objectives and reduce poverty, utilise the African Continental Free Trade Area to improve value addition, and strengthen global trade partnerships.
