The axis forces had invaded Northern Africa to go after OIL. Ethiopia and a few other places had oil. So the Allied forces went after the Axis forces to get them out of Northern Africa and deprive them of oil.

England needed the Suez Canal ship supplies from India, Australia, and the Far East. Mussolini threatened the canal and Hitler had to bail him out when he got into trouble. Hitler would have preferred to have used the forces in Russia.

The Allied Forces were able to capture and kill Mussolini because they were able to go through to Italy through Sicily.
