What was the pact between Hitler and Mussolini called?
In 1939 Hitler and Stalin signed a friendship pact, and promised that they would not fight. But shortly after that Hitler broke the pact.
Why did Mussolini agree to fight with Hitler?
They signed a treaty together with Japan, becoming allied together as the Axis Powers, because they all felt like they got a bad deal following the result of World War I. Mussolini had created a totalitarian government in Italy. He saw Hitler as the idea totalitarian leader. Hitler saw Mussolini as a possibly useful puppet. Before long, Hitler saw Mussolini as completely useless, even as a puppet, and went out of his way to humiliate Mussolini. Mussolini's government collapsed in 1943, and Italy joined the Allies.
When did Benito Mussolini Enter World War two?
Mussolini waited a while until it was "obvious" that the Germans were going to win WW2 and by 1940 he had committed his forces, such as they were, to Hitler. Apparently, when told that Hitler had the Italians on his side, Churchill said "that's only fair. We had to have them last time." Before the war was over, Mussolini had switched sides to fight with the soon-to-be-victorious Allies, but it did him little personal good. He and his wife were hanged from lampposts by Italians.
What led to Mussolini's seeking an alliance with Nazi Germany?
Basically, Mussolini had originally disliked Hitler when he took control of Germany, and came close to going to war with Germany in 1934 when Nazis assassinated the dictator who ruled Austria (the Austrian dictator was friends with Mussolini; additionally, Italy didn't want Germany to annex Austria and become too powerful). Although Mussolini disliked Hitler, Hitler greatly admired Mussolini and even tried to copy things that Mussolini had done. However, Italy wanted to build an empire, and picked a fight with Ethiopia, which led to a full invasion. Hitler was the only world leader who expressed support for Italy in their war; all other major countries condemned it. Mussolini finally began to like Hitler; he relented and did not try to stop Hitler from annexing Austria in 1938. Eventually Germany and Japan began working on an alliance that would fight against Communist aggression (Japan lost a very short war against the Soviet Union and wanted allies in case of another war with them). Italy also joined the alliance; eventually Italy and Germany would form the "Pact of Steel", officially bonding the countries together in World War II, which started about four months later.
What did Hitler do when Mussolini was removed from power?
Mussolini signed the pact with Hitler on 22 May, 1939. He had gotten a promise from Hitler that Germany would not start a war for 3 years and give Italy time to build up their arms. Italy ordered 6 battleships and additional munitions factories. On 1 September 1939, Germany invaded Poland. The Germans took Belgium, then invaded Norway and Denmark. On June 10,1940, Mussolini gave a fiery speech to annouce that Italy was joing the fight. After German troops entered Paris on 14th June, Mussolini ordered the invasion of France to start on the 18th but due to delays, the attack did not start until 4 days before France had surrendered. Not to be out down by Hitler, Mussolini launched the invasion of British Somaliland on 3 August 1940 with 40,000 men from Ethiopia. On 13 September, his desert army in Libya crossed into Egypt. Without informing Hitler, he launched an attack into Greece. Then the war really got started.

How was Italy dependent on Nazi Germany?
Answer Italy invaded Abyssinia in 1935 and continued to fight in North Africa for several years. Mussolini had sent troops to fight in the Spanish Civil War. On his own initiative, he invaded Albania in April 1939. Mussolini hoped that his alliance with Germany would make his country stronger. He wanted Germany to provide needed raw materials to rebuild his army and make improvements within his country. The German and Italian ministers met in May 1939 and worked out an alliance that was agreed to by Hitler and Mussolini. Hitler promised Mussolini that he would not start a war for 3 years and would help Italy rebuild its army and infrastructure. Two weeks later, Germany invaded Poland and the war was begun. From that day on, the Italians needed Germany's assistance to fight in North Africa and the naval battles in the Mediterranean. By August 1943, the Allies had capture Sicily and the Italian people were tired of war. At a meeting of the Grand Council on 16 July, the Fascist leaders asked Mussolini to step down from power, which he did. However, Hitler still needed him and placed Mussolini as head of the Fascist government in northern Italy---however, Hitler was the one who ran the army that continued to resist the Allies for 2 more years.
