Question

I WILL GIVE 20 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ASAP :c You are a member of a Frankish tribe in the middle ages. Your village is on the banks of the Rhine river a few miles inland from the coast in modern day Netherlands. The river has created a fertile valley where your family can grow crops and also provides a route to the sea and other villages farther inland with which you can trade. This village is located at what seems to be a perfect location and you have a good life. Despite this, many of the older members in the tribe are concerned about your village; they think it is located in a dangerous place. What dangers do you think they are concerned about?

Answer 1

The ones that come to mind are:
1. your village could be wiped out by a flood 
2. this one is the most important, your village is located at the bank of a river, this means that without any sort of water protection you leave yourselves open and vulnerable to attacks by ship.
3. if you're at a river bank then the village guards are looking at a straight distance, the most advantages land would be higher up where you can see any enemy coming from miles ahead.
