The Vikings

The Vikings. About a thousand years ago, people known as the Vikings were known and feared

throughout Europe. The Vikings were the people of the northern part of Europe called Scandinavia,

which includes the modern countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The Vikings made their living

by farming and fishing. However, by about the year 700, they began making attacks or raids

upon towns along the coast of Europe

in order to steal the wealth of those towns.

The Vikings made their attacks very quickly

and without any warning.

They were very cruel to the people of the towns they attacked,

and they sometimes destroyed the towns

by burning down the buildings.

In some parts of Europe,

the local kings would often fight against the Vikings.

Sometimes, however, the kings would pay the Vikings

in order to persuade them not to attack.

Although the Vikings were known as fierce warriors,

they also built excellent ships.

The wooden Viking ships, called longboats,

were able to sail even in very bad weather.

Many Viking longboats were about 20 meters long,

but some were nearly 90 meters long.

The Viking sailors used both sails and oars to move their ships.

The Vikings traveled across a large area.

They made many of their attacks in Britain, France, and Germany,

but sometimes sailed south into the Mediterranean Sea.

Other Vikings moved to the east and then south along the rivers of Russia.

Some even went as far as the area that is now the country of Turkey.

In some places, the Vikings decided to stay.

Many Vikings settled in England and in France, and eventually they mixed with the local people.

Other Vikings settled in Russia and also mixed with the people there.

The most famous travels of the Vikings were in the Atlantic Ocean.

Vikings sailed westward to the island of Iceland, where many of them stayed.

Today, the people of Iceland were descended from the Vikings.

Some Vikings sailed further west to the cold island of Greenland.

Vikings lived in Greenland for several generations, but eventually they died out.

Some Vikings had gone even further west and reached the Canadian island of Newfoundland.

The Vikings only stayed for a few years, but they had reached North America about 500 years before Christopher Columbus.

Gradually, the Vikings became converted to the Christian religion.

They also stopped raiding the towns of Europe,

and instead of fighting, they began trading with their neighbors.

Today, the Scandinavian countries are known as very peace-loving nations.
