Explanation:

In July 1943, as Allied forces were moving across Sicily, the Grand Council of Fascism in Italy voted to remove Mussolini from power. Germany invading northern Italy happened later after Italy's armistice. Britain was part of the Allied forces but the key event on the mainland at that time was Mussolini's removal. Mussolini was in no position to launch effective counter - offensives as his regime was crumbling.

Answer:

Mussolini was removed from power.
