  19. they where a product of christian hostility they ended because of the change brought by implementing christian law they had a hyper masculine culture, as opposed to spartan hyper militant culture which is a war culture, its like the difference of "im strong" and "we are strong" they had less of the "we are strong" aspect they where diplomacy first and men of action second, so when christianity banned trade with pagans...

  34.  @arnowisp6244  they caused it in the first place, they deserve no praise
    1
  35.  @arnowisp6244  the only reason they had to raid is becasue the christains hated them so much, genocide, forced conversion, armies looming at the border and most importantly total ban on trade with them trade was crucial to norse society, and suddenly they couldnt trade with most of their southern neighbors this led to the swedes going east to other pagans and making their way down to Byzantium a willing trade partner who was wealthy and for danes so sustain their society which experienced economic struggles which lead to a gender imbalance as make offspring was favored since it made more economic sense, this lead to an inflation of dowry prices thats just some of the results of the trade bans, the christians where willing to topple their society for believing in "the wrong religion"
