What impact did invasions by Viking and other groups have on Europe?

History

While the common consensus is that the impact of the Vikings during the Viking Age, which lasted from about 800 AD to 1100 AD, was not very enduring as the Vikings were skilled at assimilating into the local population, the Viking culture has had a lasting impact on the art, technology, society, and trade of every population they encountered. Not only does the concept of the Vikings have a firm hold in the Danish consciousness to this day, but Scandinavian traces are still apparent in the dialects of Scotland and Northern England today. The truth is that while they may have been viewed as barbarian raiders by popular culture until recent times, they were primarily skilled traders and explorers who opened up a host of new trade routes and discovered a number of new lands during their brief, but significant, reign as a prominent empire of early Europe.

Answer:

The Vikings launched an early attack on the monastery of Lindisfarne on a small island off the East coast of England. The monastery was plundered and burned, while monks were either killed or ensalved. Within ten years, the Vikings began attacks along the North coast of France. Charlemagne, king of the Franks, set up a series of defenses along the coast to ward off these Viking raids. In the late 700s, the Vikings invaded the British Isles, including areas of Ireland and Scotland. They established a settlement in Ireland, known as Dublin.

In 865 AD, a large army of Danish Vikings invaded England. Alfred the Great, King of England, defeated this Danish army in 878 and restricted the Danish Vikings to the eastern part of England, known as the Danelaw. Here people were subject to Danish law, rather than English law.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer

Vice President Tyler assumed the presidency after the death of President William Henry Harrison using the implied powers clause of the Constitution, though later the 25th Amendment would state that in the “case of the removal of the president from office or of his death or resignation, the vice president shall become president.”

In the presidential election of 1840, the Whig Party elected Tyler as vice president along with the candidacy of William Henry Harrison. John Tyler took the position of president, after the sudden death of Harrison. This makes him the tenth President of the United States, from 1841 to 1845.
