Vikings and Khazaria
Most of you have probably never heard about Khazaria.
Even if the history about Khazaria is extremely important if we shall understand why the world situation is like it is to day.
The history about Khazaria have been censored in the west since 1945/48.
But with internet it become impossible for them to keep it hidden.
This map is not about Khazaria, but about Vikings.
But i like it, because at least it show Khazaria in it, that the Vikings fight a lot against as mercenaries for the Christian countries in Europe.. :)
It was also most probably because of a new law against the Khazars, that the Vikings was forced to become the fearsome warriors they become.
The Khazars was what the Christians and Muslims called pagans.
And after a long time of war against the Khazars, the Christians and Muslims made a new law that it was forbidden to trade with pagans.
That again effected the Vikings that until that time was mostly peaceful traders.
And this forced them to go from trading to raiding.
And that again was a catalyst for the invention of the Viking ships, as they needed different ships for warfare compare to what they traditionally used for pure trading.
