Why did Great Gritain allow appeasement or isolation?
Before we get to answering this question we need to remember that the U.S. of 1938 and today were very different from one another. In 1938 the U.S. was an industrial power recovering from a severe economic downturn ( the Great Depression). It's people and much of its government were not interested in getting involved in foreign wars. The people of the U.S. would have preferred that Europe did not fight but did not want to spill U.S. blood if they did. The U.S. due to interwar budget cuts was neither a major military power aside from its navy. The army and air corps were small and ill supplied until the rebuilding started in 1939-1940. Isolationism ran strong in the U.S. partly due to the results of World War I which left many people unhappy on both sides of the Atlantic. It took a swift kick in the U.S. backside (Pearl harbor) by Japan and declarations of war from Germany and Italy to break the U.S. from the isolationist stance irrevocably. European appeasement of Hitler was a strictly European matter to the U.S. public. The U.S. was not in a position, nor wanted to be in a position at the time to have a direct say in how the U.K. and France dealt with Hitler diplomatically.
What country did Italian troops invade on April 7 1939?

How did Mussolini get captured?
He and his mistress Clara Petacci were caught by communist partisans trying to escape Italy into Switzerland on April 27, 1945, where they had planned to travel via plane to Spain. The partisans put him on a train back to comune Mezzegra along with 15 other fascists. He was executed by shooting there the next day.
Mussolini's ultimate legacy was not a desirable one. After being shot, his corpse and that of Petacci were thrown in the back of a truck and taken to Milan. He was strung up in the Piazza Quindici Martiri (Literally, "The Square of Fifteen Martyrs"; named for 15 anti-fascists hung there just weeks prior to Mussolini's fall from grace) by a meat hook, where his lifeless body was shot, stoned, and spat upon. As you can clearly see, the people hadn't an ounce of love left for him. Some even speculate that it was the news of Mussolini's horrific death (and consequent parading) that aided in Hitlers' decision to commit suicide.

Why did jappenneseAmericans face more discrimination during world war 2 than Italy?
Many were punished for the actions of the few. A few Japanese Americans sabotaged a tanker filled with gasoline by adding paraffin. This kept a number of American airplanes from having sufficient gasoline to defend the Philippines and caused the PT boats from having enough fuel. It greatly assisted the Japanese conquest of the Philippines. That led to panic. It made the rest of the country wonder what other acts of sabotage the Japanese would perform.
German Americans and Italian Americans in general did not have such ties to the mother country. They especially did not want to risk getting shipped back home!

What promise did both Hitler and Mussolini make to their people?
Neither, really.
Mussolini was a fascist, so he wouldn't have promised to free Italy from fascism. He did dislike capitalism, but under his fascist government, he used a form of economics called "corporatism", which was, simply put, a cooperation between government and corporations, with them working together to rule the economy.
Hitler was the leader of the Nazis, and Nazism is somewhat similar to Fascism. So Hitler made no promises to free Germany from Fascism. Hitler openly disliked economics, and didn't really care about them; however, he disliked Western capitalism, mainly because he believed that it was dominated by Jewish people. His economic policies were to largely maintain capitalism in Germany, except that he removed "foreigners", especially Jews, from the economy as much as possible.
So you could make the argument that they promised to get rid of capitalism, but in reality, neither actually did a lot to truly get rid of it.
