Uneducated fuck.

2019-01-07 15:50:04 UTC

2019-01-07 15:50:08 UTC  

First of all,

2019-01-07 15:50:28 UTC  

dey sailed boatz n shit

2019-01-07 15:50:44 UTC  

They developed a way to build ships that allowed them to ride high and have flexibility. This allowed them to sail up rivers and across oceans - that's how they got to the Canadian Islands, part of Modern Northern America.

2019-01-07 15:50:51 UTC  

But the spanish actually were able to make something of the new world?

2019-01-07 15:50:58 UTC  

The vikings got to Greenland and died

2019-01-07 15:51:07 UTC  

Their weaponry was extremely advanced, for their day.

2019-01-07 15:51:08 UTC  

Then they got to canada

2019-01-07 15:51:10 UTC  

and failed

2019-01-07 15:51:15 UTC  

but what did it do for them?

2019-01-07 15:51:23 UTC  

their little time in the spotlight didn't do much

2019-01-07 15:51:35 UTC  

They raided some people for a short period and then did nothing much

2019-01-07 15:51:41 UTC  

NOBODY could settle a colony there.

2019-01-07 15:51:47 UTC  

Did they establish ha global empire? no?

2019-01-07 15:51:57 UTC  

Except for the English and French of course

2019-01-07 15:51:59 UTC  

They still conquered Normandy.

2019-01-07 15:52:01 UTC  

And Paris.

2019-01-07 15:52:05 UTC  

But they lost it

2019-01-07 15:52:18 UTC  

The British Empire also lost its colonies, so what?

2019-01-07 15:52:23 UTC  

And the French established a society greater than nay Nordic country

2019-01-07 15:52:39 UTC  

The Vikings were older than the Frenchies.

2019-01-07 15:52:39 UTC  

they took a small amount of Europe after it was in shambles and then claimed to be "great"

2019-01-07 15:52:46 UTC  

Small?

2019-01-07 15:52:56 UTC  

They never did anything that impressive

2019-01-07 15:53:11 UTC  

They conquered all of England, they got Normandy, parts of Russia and Germany, and even got to border Byzantium.

2019-01-07 15:53:13 UTC  

I just had smoked salmon

2019-01-07 15:53:15 UTC  

is that trad?

2019-01-07 15:53:18 UTC  

no

2019-01-07 15:53:22 UTC  

Nah.

2019-01-07 15:53:26 UTC  

it's trad for me

2019-01-07 15:53:37 UTC  

sad

2019-01-07 15:53:42 UTC  

But they did not take over England

2019-01-07 15:53:47 UTC  

They did.

2019-01-07 15:53:47 UTC  

They lost it

2019-01-07 15:53:57 UTC  

clearly never had smoked salmon ^

2019-01-07 15:53:59 UTC  

They conquered, and then lost it, yes.

2019-01-07 15:54:01 UTC  

Stop being an idiot.

2019-01-07 15:54:04 UTC  

They obviously lost it.

2019-01-07 15:54:04 UTC  

They lost it to Anglo-Saxons who were hesitant to kill them

2019-01-07 15:54:08 UTC  

Nothing they did ever lasted
