Vikings were people who lived in Northern Europe in villages and groups. The countries today of Sweden, Finland, Denmark were the areas they lived. These are very cold places and eventually they invented the ships to sail to other places. It took 4 years for the women to weave one sail for their ships. They were looking for places to colonize and to raid. The first places they raided were along the Irish coast and Britain. As they grew in power they moved on to France and the Mediterranean coast with raiding parties. Newfound was settled by them and so was Iceland .
