The invasion of North Africa, Sicily, and France by Allied forces strategically weakened German control in Europe. The North African campaign, culminating in the defeat of Axis forces in May 1943, opened the Mediterranean for Allied operations. The subsequent invasion of Sicily in July 1943 led to the downfall of Mussolini and allowed Allied forces to push into Italy and divert German troops. Finally, the D-Day invasion of France in June 1944 established a second front, stretching German resources thin and ultimately contributing to their defeat in Europe.
