Why did the Anglo-Saxons invade Britain?

The island of Great Britain has been invaded only four times in history. After stone age the island was inhabited by Britons, who were celts. Romans conquered Britain in AD 43 because they got tin and other products from there and the celts were their enemies. Romans left Britain in AD 410, because they had no use for the province anymore and they needed troops to protect other more significant areas of their empire. Many Romans mixed with Britains celtic population. After that germanic peoples of northern Germany and Denmark invaded Great Britain. Angles, Saxons and Jutes are usually called just Anglo-Saxons. They left from mainland Europe because the Huns were destroying everything and caused the Barbarian Invasions, and they moved to Britain, since it's a safe island and Romans just left it. Anglo-Saxons mixed with the previous people on Britain. In 9th century the vikings invaded Britain from the North. They left from Norway and Denmark because there weren't enough women for the men (vikings preferred male children) and not enough farmland either. Vikings mixed with previous peoples of the island also. In year 1066 Britain was conquered for the last time, by Normans, who came there from Brittany, France, but they were from Skandinavia originally (thus Normans, North men). They mixed with the population like all the other invaders previously. So the island of Great Britain was celtic at first, then conquered by Romans, and after they abandoned it, conquered by Skandinavian/germanic peoples three times successively. In 19th century French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte tried to conquer Britain, but didn't succeed, because the British fleet won the French fleet. In 20th century German leader Adolf Hitler tried to conquer Britian, but didn't succeed either, because the British air force won the German air force.
