After finishing conquest of Poland in October 1939... nothing happened. For like, a really long time. There were some naval battles, and France briefly tried to invade part of Germany... but for the most part, not much happened. Even though France and England had promised to help Poland, they didn't, which greatly annoyed the Polish people. This period of general inactivity is nicknamed the "Phoney War" or "Sitzkrieg" ("sitting war").
In April 1940, about six months after the invasion of Poland ended, Germany launched an invasion of Norway and Denmark. Germany wanted to seize Norway to prevent the Allies from using it as a base against them, plus it made it easier for Germany to buy metal (for tanks, boats and airplanes) from Sweden.
About a month later, while the Norway-Denmark invasion was still on-going, Germany invaded Belgium, the Netherlands and France.
