Did Benito stay in power

Benito Mussolini did not remain in power until the end of World War II. He was initially a dominant figure in Italy, leading the country as a fascist dictator from 1922 until he was deposed in July 1943. After being arrested, he was rescued by German forces but was eventually captured and executed by Italian partisans in April 1945. Thus, his rule effectively ended with his arrest in 1943.
