Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism positively and it asserts that stronger nations have the right to expand their territory by displacing weaker nations since the national race was in perpetual conflict with other nations and races.

How did the Nazis travel to Norway?
For the purposes of this answer, I assume you are referring to how the Nazis traveled to invade Norway in World War II. Most of the German soldiers arrived on German warships (merchant ships were considered too slow to coordinate with the warships during the invasion) with the invasion fleet that attacked on 9 April 1940.
The initial invasion force was transported in several groups by ships of the Kriegsmarine:
1. Battlecruisers (or fast battleships) Scharnhorst and Gneisenau as distant cover, plus 10 destroyers with 2,000 mountaineering troops to Narvik.
2. Heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper and four destroyers with 1,700 troops to Trondheirm;
3. Light cruisers K1. Köln and Königsberg, artillery training ship Bremse, transport Karl Peters, two torpedo boats and five motor torpedo boats with 1,900 troops to Bergen;
4. Light cruiser Karlsruhe, three torpedo boats, seven motor torpedo boats and Schnellboot mothership (Schnellbootbegleitschiff) Tsingtauwith 1,100 troops to Kristiansand;
5. Heavy cruiser Blücher, heavy cruiser (formerly pocket battleship) Lützow, light cruiser Emden, three torpedo boats and eight minesweepers with 2,000 troops to Oslo;
6. Four minesweepers with 150 troops to Egersund.
German airborne troops also landed at Oslo airport Fornebu, Kristiansand airport Kjevik, and Sola Air Station - the latter constituting the first opposed paratrooper (Fallschirmjäger) attack in history.
There are also reports that some advance soldiers traveled across the border from Sweden in the guise of tourists.

Umberto "Il Duce" Moussolini was the dictator of Italy. He and his girlfriend were killed and the hung upside down and beaten in a public square by Italian citizens.
Is Fascism a popular economic system meant to help working people.?
It was initially intended to be such. Benito Mussolini had gotten his start in politics as a Socialist writer and theorist, but he broke with the Italian Socialists during World War I. After the war, he was one of the major founders of Fascism, and, while Fascism was decidedly right-wing (in many ways, the opposite of Socialism), he nevertheless brought with him some of the Socialist pro-labor ideas.
However, in practice, Fascism wound up not being very pro-labor. It created a system called "corporatism"- in short, this system set up amalgamations of big businesses and government agencies that would work together to control the Italian economy. In this system, the workers wound up having very little power or rights, and unions were either abolished or replaced with new unions under the control of the corporatist agencies.
To keep the working class under control, extensive propaganda efforts and powerful police agencies kept things in line. A cult of personality tried to make the people practically worship Mussolini. Italy began attacking other countries, such as Albania and Ethiopia, to try to conquer them and create a new Roman Empire. These early successes made Mussolini's government popular, despite Mussolini eliminating the people's freedom.
What did the Nazi's do to the Jews between 1938-1945?
They sent the Jews to concentration camps. There were many of these camps. At certain camps, they just strictly killed them. At others, they forced them to do hard labor. Thousands died because of little food and water, they were put into gas chambers, they got very ill, or they were put to work to hard. These concentration camps were pure torture, and were horrible.
What was most important to the fascists the individual or the state?
Fascists prioritized the state over the individual, believing that the strength and unity of the nation were paramount. They emphasized collective identity, often based on nationalism, and sought to suppress individual rights and freedoms in favor of state control and authority. The individual's role was seen as subordinate to the needs and goals of the state, which was often portrayed as a living entity that required loyalty and sacrifice from its citizens.
What are two main ideas of fascism?
A political regime, usually totalitarian, ideologically based on centralized government, government control of business, repression of criticism or opposition, a leader cult and exalting the state and/or religion above individual rights. Originally only applied (usually capitalized) to Benito Mussolini's Italy.
