Operation Husky was the Allied invasion of which location in 1943?

• A. Greece
• B. Sardinia
• C. Sicily
• D. Crete

Answer: (C)

Operation Husky was the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943, a major Mediterranean campaign that began with amphibious landings in July and opened the path for the push into the Italian mainland. This move forced Axis forces to retreat from Sicily and shifted momentum in the war in Italy. The other places listed correspond to different campaigns—Greece and Crete saw earlier battles, and Sardinia was not the focus of this operation—so Sicily is the correct location.
