Summary

Located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea is its largest island: Sicily. Given its size and location, Sicily has been the key for any empire, kingdom, or civilization that wanted to control the Mediterranean. As a result, Sicily has been one of the most contested pieces of land in the history of the world. For over three thousand years, one army after another invaded and occupied the island before getting kicked out by the next one. Learn more about Sicily and its long history of invasion and conquest on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
