Sicily was strategically important during World War II as it served as a key gateway for Allied forces to invade mainland Italy. The successful Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943, known as Operation Husky, marked the beginning of the Italian Campaign and aimed to weaken Axis powers in Europe. Control of Sicily allowed the Allies to establish air bases and supply lines, facilitating further military operations in the Mediterranean. Additionally, the capture of Sicily contributed to the eventual overthrow of Mussolini's fascist regime.
