Answer:

D) Both events led to the elimination of leaders from power

Step-by-step explanation:

The invasion of Italy began when American and British forces landed in Sicily, Italy on June 10th, 1943. Italy's leader at that time was fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. The invasion of Sicily led to the downfall of Mussolini and was therefore eliminated from power as a leader.

The Soviet Army had invaded the city of Berlin in Germany in 1945. This battle led to the surrender of Germany. Adolf Hitler, Germany's dictator commit su!c!de to avoid capture, thus being taken out of a position of power.

With all this in mind, it is clear that these events are related through the fact that the leaders of both places of battle were taken from their positions in power during the events.
