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.
