The invasion of Italy during World War II involved the Allies, primarily consisting of American, British, Canadian, and other Commonwealth forces, against Axis powers led by Nazi Germany and the Italian fascist regime. The campaign began with the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943, followed by landings on the Italian mainland in September 1943. The Allies aimed to weaken German forces in Southern Europe and divert resources from the Eastern Front. The invasion eventually led to the fall of Mussolini's government and significant territorial gains for the Allies.

Therefore, Mussolini was overthrown and Italy entered into negotiations for surrender. The German Army quickly moved to occupy Italy and prepare for the forthcoming Allied invasion.
The soft underbelly of the Axis Powers was Italy. The allies (US-led) launched the invasion of Scicily and Italy in order to knock it our of the war.
