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.

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.
