How did the Vikings get wiped out?
They didn't get "wiped out". As the Vikings began to gain control of more land over Europe and England, they settled and eventually started to cease their murderous pillages across Europe and England. The main reason the Vikings pillaged other civilisations such as England, is because England had plenty of fertile land and healthy cattle as well as riches in the form of Christian gold. The homeland of the Vikings was very infertile and very poor. In order to prevent their people being wiped out, the Vikings raided the more fertile, thriving civilisations to feed their own. As pointed out above, once the Vikings were happy that they had acquired enough land to survive on, they ceased their pillages and settled for normal lives all over Northern Europe and Middle-England. They were never wiped out.
