As explorers and traders, the Vikings played a decisive role in the formation of Latin Christendom, and particularly of Western Europe. Viking ships allowed them to ride the waters rather than fight the waves, to be dragged across land from river to river, and to be beached in any port and sail almost anywhere. Many Viking victories resulted from the fact that their ships could sail several times faster than opposing armies could move on foot.
