The theater of World War II most closely associated with the invasion of Sicily is the Mediterranean Theater. This operation, known as Operation Husky, took place in July 1943 and was a crucial step in the Allied campaign to gain control of Southern Europe. The successful invasion aimed to undermine Axis powers in the region and paved the way for the subsequent invasion of mainland Italy.
In history, the British Empire included what is now known as Australia, Canada, India, the U.S.A., etc. They were not necessarily countries at the time of their invasion/annexation, though. Canada and the U.S.A. were just 'the new world' or perhaps just 'North America' at the time.
