Best Answer

In 1943. Actually, Mussolini was captured twice, once in 1943, and his fatal capture in 1945. After the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943, the Italian King Victor Emmanuel II took power, and General Pietro Bodaglio replaced Mussolini who was then imprisoned. He was contemplating suicide when rescued in 1944 by German paratroopers led by SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny, and reinstated as Il Duce in Milan by Hitler. Even after the Allies captured Rome, Mussolini continued to rule a Fascist government-in-exile until the Allies closed on Milan. He then fled north to Germany but was captured by Communist Italians and executed.

Militarily or Politically? Mussolini invaded Albania in 1937 and his army had a difficult time. Then in April 1941, he invaded Greece without consulting with Hitler and if it wasn't for assistance from German troops, he would have lost there. July 16, 1943, the Grand Council met and asked Mussolini to step down, which he did. Hitler rescued him from prison and put him as head of the Fascist government in Northern Italy---but he was only a puppet of Hitler. Germany's troops continued to fight the Allies in Italy. On April 28, 1945, Mussolini was captured trying to escape the country and was executed by partisans. Custermen

What event was Mussolini arrested after?

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.

Mussolini was then arrested and kept in isolation in Central Italy.

How did the allies end the rule of Benito Mussolini?

The Allies had relatively little to do with it. Soundly defeated in North Africa, Mussolini began to be deeply doubted by his own inner circle - and by that same time, the average Italian had come to despise him. He was relieved of his command and office, and at the very end of the war tracked down and shot by Italian partisans.
