In 1943, Allied forces launched the Sicilian Campaign, which marked a significant turning point in World War II. The invasion of Sicily began in July 1943, leading to the eventual defeat of Axis powers in North Africa. This operation not only facilitated the Allied invasion of Italy but also weakened German positions in the Mediterranean, contributing to the overall decline of Axis influence in the region. The success in Sicily paved the way for further Allied advances into mainland Italy.
