Viking raids began in AD793 with small, unorganized attacks on monasteries in England. The raids grew in size and frequency as thousands of Vikings left Scandinavia to pillage other lands, traveling via rivers to trade in places like Istanbul and Baghdad. Norwegians sought new lands, settling in Scotland, Ireland, Iceland and Greenland while Danish Vikings focused on Ireland, Wales and eastern England. The Vikings looted treasures, slaves, food, gold and other goods. Monks recorded the attacks and described the widespread destruction, massacres, burnings, and theft wrought by the Vikings as well as the terror left among the remaining populations.
The Treaty of Versailles was the most important of the peace treaties that brought World War I to an end. The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

7. Viking SagaS
• Saga means story, this is an extract from a Viking’s
Saga
• When Thorald was about twenty years old he made
up his mind to go on a Viking expedition, so his father
gave him a longship. Evind and Obir joined him with
another longship and a good number of men, and
they spent the summer plundering. There was plenty
of loot so each man got a good share. That's how
things were for a number of years - every summer
they'd go on Viking expeditions and every winter they
would stay at home with their families and parents.
Thorold brought his parents a lot of valuable things.
8. What the MonkS
thought
• This is what a French monk wrote about Viking
raids in France:
• The endless flood of Vikings is on the increase.
Everywhere, Christ's people are the victims of
massacre, burning and theft. The Vikings
destroy everything. Towns are emptied and evil
triumphs! Monks, townspeople and everyone
else have been killed or taken prisoner.
Monasteries along the river Seine have been
destroyed. The Vikings have left the remaining
people in a state of terror.

Tossing the sea's white hair.
I need not dread the fierce Viking
Crossing the Irish Sea.
