Question

after defeating German forces in North Africa Allied Leaders turned their attention to which of the following countries

They hoped that the invastion will remove Italy's fascist regime from the war and secure the central Mediterranean.

The Allies started the Italian Campaign by the invasion of Sicily in July 1943.
