No, the Italians did invade Egypt, but it never came close to the intended goal of seizing the Suez Canal, and in fact only attacked a small British force before leaving.
The correct term is Island-Hopping.

They didn't, although they did occupy the channel islands from June 30th 1940 until 9th May 1945.
Yes, they invaded and occupied the channel islands. ----- Actually, no. They did invade the channel islands, but the channel islands are not part of England or even of the UK. They are a crown dependency. They are remnants of the old Duchy of Normandy, which never reverted to France, and are separate. It is for this reason that one of the titles of Queen Elizabeth II is Duke of Normandy (note: properly "duke," not "duchess," in this case).
They wanted their oil and other resources that were not on the Japan islands. They also wanted to be the rulers of the Asian world.
