germany invaded northern italy.
britain invaded northern italy.
mussolini launched counteroffensives.

Explanation:

In the summer of 1943, as Allied forces moved across Sicily, Mussolini was removed from power on the Italian mainland. Italy was facing military set - backs and internal unrest. Germany later invaded northern Italy to prevent an Italian surrender to the Allies, but this was after Mussolini's removal. Britain was part of the Allied forces in the overall campaign but did not specifically invade northern Italy on its own at that time. And Mussolini was in no position to launch counter - offensives as his power was waning.

Answer:

Mussolini was removed from power.
