What year did Spain invade England?
The question does not make sense. When people talk about the "Spanish conquerors" they usually refer to people from Spain who have invaded other places, not Spain itself. If you are asking about one the myriad of foreign armies that have conquered all or part of the Iberian Peninsula, such as the Phoenician colonists (Tartessos), the Greek colonists, the Roman Empire, the Visigoths, the various waves of Muslim Arabs and Amazigh (Berbers), the Carolingian Empire, the the Armies of the Reconquista, and the Napoleonic French, you may need to be more specific about which one you want to know about.
What was the relationship between Japan and Germany in 1941?
Before Pearl Harbor Japan relations with the US were good. In World War One, they were actually an ally of the US. They were part of the group called the Allies. Also, Japan gave the US a peace medal a VERY short time before the Pearl Harbor bombings. However, the peace medal was clearly an act of deceitfulness, designed to catch the US off guard. Later, at the end of World War Two, we strapped the peace medal to the atomic bomb and dropped it right on Hiroshima.

Did Germany attack Norway in World War 2?
Immediately after the outbreak of war in September 1939, Norway, jointly with Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, announced its neutrality. In that action the Scandinavian states were following a policy they had adhered to consistently, if not always with complete success, since the middle of the nineteenth century. Germany, for its part, on 2 September 1939 presented a note in Oslo in which it declared its intention to respect the territorial integrity of Norway under all circumstances but warned that it expected the Norwegian Government to maintain an irreproachable neutrality and that it would not tolerate an infringement of that neutrality by a third power. A month later, on 9 October, in a secret memorandum on the conduct of the war, Hitler stated that the neutrality of the "Nordic States" was to be assumed for the future and that a continuation of German trade with those countries appeared possible even in a war of long duration. [2]
With due allowance for Hitler's tendency to play by ear, it can be said that the German interest in Norwegian neutrality at the beginning of the war was sincere. For Germany the advantages were substantial. Of the approximately six million tons of Swedish magnetite iron ore which Germany imported annually, about half passed through the Norwegian ice-free port of Narvik. (See Map 1.) From Narvik, as long as Norway remained neutral, ore ships could travel safely in the Leads, the passage inside the numberless islands fringing the Norwegian west coast. The Leads also made it much more costly and difficult to blockade Germany since blockade runners could steam up the long Norwegian coast and break out above the Arctic Circle in waters difficult to patrol. Consequently, in wartime the neutrality of Norway was a significant German asset, one which the British could be trusted not to overlook.
Passive exploitation of Norway's neutrality did not exhaust the German strategic interests in the Norwegian area. After World War I an opinion had developed in the German naval command which held that if the German Fleet had had bases in Norway and had not been bottled up in the North Sea that war might have gone differently for the Navy. It was a return to this line of thought which brought forward a proposal for a shift to more aggressive action in Norway.
In the last week of September 1939, with the campaign against Poland drawing rapidly to a successful conclusion, Hitler and the Commander in Chief, Navy, Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, began casting about for measures to be adopted in case the war against Great.
So yes, I think that is why.
For the minerals - iron and ports for their ships. Also to prevent the British obtaining them.

How did us help Britain fight Germany?
After the bombing of Pearl Harbour, Nazi Germany declared war on the USA, which would have allowed them to attack American shipping in the North Atlantic. Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to pool their resources which would mean British forces training in America and American forces being stationed in Britain for the anticipated invasion of mainland Europe which eventually started on D-Day - 6th June 1944. Britain on its own would not have been able to carry out that invasion due to overpowering manpower and firepower of the well defended French coast. The population of the US is about five times that of the UK, so their extra manpower was essential.
In what year did Germany and Italy become allies during World War 2?
Germany has existed in many forms, the earliest government directly associated with Germanic people was the Holy Roman Empire (962CE). This confederation of states existed in many forms until 1806. The states fell apart but were mostly reunified by 1871.
The period between 1914 and 1949 is complex and beyond the scope of a simple answer. After WWII, the Soviets and the USA spit the 'protection' of Germany into halves. The Federal Republic of 1949 is usually viewed as the government of Germany since the Soviet half was a puppet state. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the destruction of the Berlin Wall Germany was reunified. This most Recent incarnation of Germany started the 3rd of October 1990.
Italy also has a long history. The earliest recordings show a government around the 8th century BCE. This was the roots of what would become the Great Roman Empire. After much turmoil, the empire finally dissolved in 285CE.
Over the next millennium and a half Italy existed as a broken assembly of city-states. These states were conquered and reformed by outsiders and neighbors. In 1816 Italy began a process of reunification through politics and ultimately war with the Austrian Empire. The kingdom of Italy officially came into existence in 1861.
After the chaos of WWII the Italian people adopted a democratic form of government. The last king of Italy, Umberto II, abdicated 12 June 1946 starting the present Republic of Italy.
