Italy Campaign

The Italy Campaign was a series of military operations during World War II where Allied forces aimed to defeat Axis powers in Italy. Starting in 1943, it involved fighting through difficult terrain and confronting well-fortified German and Italian troops. The campaign included key battles like the invasion of Sicily and the assault on the Italian mainland, gradually pushing Axis forces northward. Its goal was to weaken Axis strength in Europe, open a new front, and eventually lead to the liberation of Italy and further advances into occupied Europe. The campaign was marked by intense combat and strategic complexity.
