'The' is a definite article. For example, the cat, the best place to ski, the capital city of China, etc...
'Thee' is an objective pronoun meaning 'you'. It is archaic, and is no longer used except in poetry or for literary or traditional effect). For example, I thee wed.

More specifically, "thee" is the singular, informal, objective-case form of "you".
My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
of thee I sing.
"The" is pronounced the same as "thee" when it occurs before a vowel sound (the end, the answer).
