@magni.fy: Pick a country the Vikings didn't rule... #historytok #geography #maps #funfacts #vikings The Roman Empire gets all the credit for shaping Europe... but the Vikings had just as big of an impact, and maybe a more surprising one. They didn’t just raid, they founded cities, ruled kingdoms, and left their mark all over the continent, from Ireland to Italy. The countries that weren’t taken over by Vikings had to level up just to survive. A lot of the beautiful architecture that people admire in Europe was actually developed to keep Vikings out.
