I will pay for the following article The Viking World. The work is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. This paper aims to explore the environment in which the Vikings operated, including its history and geography, the culture which they developed among themselves, and the many different ways in which they influenced neighboring cultures. This analysis will then be used to consider how appropriate the title “The Viking World” is for a program of study on the Vikings.

The term “Viking” is often used as if it refers to one national group, but this is a mistake caused by the fact that historians from the early middle ages did not know very much about this group of people. History in those days was written down mainly by monks, and Charlemagne’s Frankish empire was the center of European civilization, and this means that the perspective on things was very biased against the Vikings.1 They were seen as barbarians, not part of the Christian world, and lumped together as the enemy. They were indeed, before the eleventh century at least, not converted to Christianity, but it is unfair to say that they were uncivilized or all the same. At least three main groups can be distinguished between them: the Norwegians, the Swedes and the Danes. Each had their specific Germanic dialect which later developed into fully-fledged separate languages. They also came from quite different geographical areas, and this is important in understanding the subcultures within Viking civilization.

Norway was then, as now, along mountainous country with many rocky inlets called fjords, and not much in the way of fertile farmland, except in the south. Fishing was therefore an important way of life for most of the population, and this led to greater and greater skill in building boats. When food and resources became scarce, for example in the frozen north where the climate did not favor human civilization, the Norsemen.
