Britain failed to effectively assist Norway during Germany's attack in April 1940 due to a combination of strategic miscalculations and logistical challenges. The British military was unprepared for the rapid German invasion, which utilized a blitzkrieg strategy that overwhelmed Norwegian defenses. Additionally, poor coordination between British and Norwegian forces hampered efforts to mount an effective response. Compounding these issues were the delayed deployment of British troops and the focus on other fronts, leading to a lack of timely support for Norway.
Norway was not directly involved in WW1. Merchant ships traded between Britain and Norway and were sometimes attacked by German vessels but Norway was neutral during WW1, although the Allies forbade them to trade with Germany.
Poland, Holland, Belgium, France, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, Yugoslavia, Greece, and the Soviet Union were attacked by German armies and air forces. Also, Great Britain and Malta were heavily attacked by Germany from the air, and at sea the ships of many Allied nations were attacked by the Germany Navy.

The simple answer is that Germany occupied Norway, and your enemy's enemy is your friend. For the long answer, we need to look back to WWI. Norway was neutral and was supplying Germany with canned fish. The British were fed up with this, and presented Norway with an ultimatum; Stop feeding Germany, or we stop supplying you with coal. Norway now had to choose sides, and this sparked a collaboration where a large portion of the Norwegian commercial fleet was put at Britain's disposal. However, Norway still claimed to be neutral. When WWII started, Norway once again declared it's neutrality, but the government had the view that if war became inevitable they had to side with Britain.
The Vikings came from Norway, Denmark, and Scandinavia. They attacked the north-east coast of Britain. They invaded in AD 793 and then later in AD 1000-1060.
