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

Romans helped to make old english... Vikings helped to make the modern new english. I have no Roman blood in me... I have Celtic blood... the blood that turned the Romans around. I think I was pretty clear in there.
And to the other guy who said there was no such thing as a Viking Kingdom... there was... the Vikings weren't just all "lets go kill this because we are tribal beast".
The Vikings had one of the bests economics, without the Vikings there would be no Russia, there would be no Denmark, Normandy, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland.
The Norse Vikings were civilized as they estabilished The Denmark Kingdom (a spand of Denmark and Sweden, including Greenland, Iceland, Alaska)
I've studied Vikings too much and I know about them
so there is no need to argue.
People think too highly of the Romans... they had little effect on the world. I myself know latin and the only language that even comes CLOSE to latin... (besides Italian) is Spanish, the first state to be conquered by the Romans. Even though the Spanish language is still differnt from Latin. There are few english words in latin (Intro(enter), Vir(man), vehicula(carraige), etc).
And just to add... The Dark Ages were before the Middle Ages.
The Middle Ages were in the middle of the Dark Ages and the Renaissance. (Dark Age < Middle Age < Renaissance < Imperal < Industrial < Atomic)
