#1 I never said they were as civilized as the Romans O_o... I stated that the Viking fall was the CAUSE of the modernization and cilivation of the Normandy Vikings. The Vikings always attacked the Franks, The Franks paid them off but the Vikings came back for more... therefore the Franks gave the Vikings the providence of Normandy... From there the Vikings made a new language, converted to Christianity, and soon lost every Norse cultural knowledge. From there the Normans conquered England and other surrounding nations.

And It is true... The Vikings were more civilized then the Romans at the end. The United State's Court system was made by the Vikings, English was influnced by the Vikings, nearly everything in America's start... was influnced by the Vikings. Rome didn't have an impact on the world more then the Vikings did.

And Rome fell to Visi-goths from Germania.... not because of a split... The Split did weaken the Western Empire... but it didn't make it fall.

Ok well be more clear and im glad you were mature enough not to cuss. Anyhows Rome had a MAJOR effect on the world. The US goverment was indeed greatly influenced by the Roman republic since Rome was the first nation to practice a republican form of goverment. Our english language and most all of the euro countries our based on Latin. And today Roman desendents are every where, including me XD
