Benito Mussolini was the leader of Italy before and during WWII. He never had any position in France.
Yes, Benito Mussolini from Italy was Hitler's ally.
On 7 April, 1939, Italy invaded Albania. Albania was self-ruled but it depended on Italy for protection. Mussolini considered this a "family matter" and did not involve Germany or any other neighboring country in his move to gain more territory.
Because of his majorely facist (forceful) ways, Mussolini was hated among his people and after Italy fell in 1945, his country began to revolt and start a revoluton. Fearing for his saftey, Mussolini attempted to leave Italy, but was discovered by revolutionaries and kidnapped. He was violently killed. He was hung upside-down, among several of his highest officers, from a low bridge, until the force of his blood running to his head ultimately killed him. It was extrremley painful and gruesome, as his head slowly bulged from the weight of the blood and his brain burst from too much fluid in his skull. His body was then dragged through the streets by a horse as revolutionaries paraded and cheered.
Britain and France wanted to end conflict but keep Mussolini's friendship. They were alarmed at Italy's growing military strength and did not want to push Mussolini into a friendship with Hitler as it would mean a dangerous alliance between two fascist powers. In December, 1935, British and French Foreign Secretaries, Sir Samuel Hoare and Pierre Laval, drew up a plan in the hope it would encourage Mussolini to abandon War. Mussolini was to be offered half of Abyssinia in 3 areas. The rest of the country was to be a zone of Italian economic expansion. In return, Abyssinia was to gain access to the sea through Italian Eritea. The leaking of the pact to the public resulted in an outcry. This pact was seen as a surrender to aggression and Hoare was forced to resign. This pact did not come into operation but its publication undermined the league and any confidence in the sanctions policy against Italy.

In Italy, the secret police of the Kingdom of Italy were the equivalent of the German Gestapo. Mussolini assigned the to stop any sentiment or activity that was anti-Fascist.

Yes Mussolini had children. Some of them were Edda Mussolini, Romano Mussolini, Bruno Mussolini and Vittorio Mussolini.
In October Mussolini ordered an attack on Greece, which resulted in the lost of 1/3 of Albania until Hitler assisted in the attack on Greece. In June of 1941 Mussolini then declared war on the Soviet Union as well as a declaration of war on the United States in December. The Italians were defeated time and time again and this had most people turning against Mussolini. On July 25, 1943 King Vittorio Emanuele III summoned Mussoloni to his palace and notified him that he would no longer have any power. Mussolini was then arrested and kept in isolation in Central Italy.

Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini began his political career as a socialist. Later he saws the "virtue" of fascism. Many Italians were hurt economically after WW 1. Many of them leaned towards socialism and some towards the communism practiced in what became the USSR. The violence of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, caused many Italians to fear that " communism" and its violence might be a threat to Italy. They saw Mussolini as their best protection against this and they also saw him as a leader of Italian nationalism. Mussolini and his "black shirts" destroyed any political opposition to Mussolini. He used the fears of the Italian people and their yearning of nationalism, to become the first fascist leader in Europe.
If he doesn't have friend then how he could make his way to be a leader. He must have supporters and those were his friend. Benito Mussolini, a dictator of Italy, was his friend. He helped Hitler in World War II.
