∙ 12y agoIn WWII the allied forces landed on Sicily, and US forces participated. From there invasion of the Italian mainland started. During the course of war Italy changed from being en enemy to the allies, to overthrow Mussolini's rule and start to fight the German troops in Italy. So there was no need to occupy the whole of Italy.
After the Allies gained control of the island of Sicily, they landed troops on the mainland of Italy in September 1943. The British 8th Army landed troops on the "heel" of Italy. The US 5th Army made an amphibious landing at Salerno. Within a few weeks the Germans pulled back out of southern Italy the the British and US armies linked up to form a front line across the lower half of Italy.
