Explanation

Both events led to the removal of a national leader from power. The Allied invasion of Italy in 1943 contributed to the fall of Benito Mussolini’s government, while the Battle of Berlin in 1945 ended with Adolf Hitler’s death and the collapse of Nazi rule. The invasions did not both begin in April 1945, and they were not both led by Soviet forces.
