Tell me what you know about the Vikings….
Vikings
The Vikings came from the area we know as Scandinavia, which includes
the nations of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Scandinavia was originally
an agricultural society that produced its own iron good and conducted some
minor trading. Evidence suggests that the rapid population growth created
so much pressure on the limited amount of land that the people turned to
the sea as raiders. In medieval times, the Vikings placed dragons on the
front of their ships to scare off sea monsters.
Historians agree that the Vikings were fierce and that they conducted
surprise raids from the sea. However, the Vikings also developed the
technology to build the most maneuverable and fastest sea worthy vessels
in the world, known as longships. Many Vikings were also experienced
farmers, fishermen, iron workers, traders and writers.
