They Invaded other lands because they needed to establish their Viking names, and to gain new land, because their previous lands where getting over crowded.
The vikings only took lands because they were running out of land themselves and needed more crops, water, area, etc.

The Vikings are looking for places to pillage. Other countries held much gold, silver and resources.
They were able to collect consumer goods--gold, cloth and other items from the people they raided. Returning raiders were given additional status due to their success. Others traveled seasonally to other areas to trade for animal skins and other items.

∙ 13y agoA population explosion occurred in northern Europe due to a long period of excellent climate. There were too many people for the available land. The Vikings raided other countries because they found food (etc.) there. The Vikings established towns and cities all along the Baltic, North Sea, and Atlantic coasts of Europe. Dublin, Ireland, was originally a Viking trading post. So the Vikings were settlers and traders as well as raiders.

Christianity had spread to a good portion of Europe, and wealth was stored with the Churches which were poorly fortified. Vikings took advantage of this.

∙ 12y agoThere are various theories concerning the causes of the Viking invasions. The 9th century was unusually cold. Scientific analyses confirm that, at the same time, Central America had the worst drought for 7000 years. Did the climate change that some believe ended the Mayan civilisation of Central America also force the Norse to become 'pirates'? Another reason could have been that the growing population put pressure on the limited amount of farming land? Raids are said to offer men the chance for adventure or glory or to restore their honour. Maybe that's why they raided Christian monasteries as they were full of treasure? Or did they just do it for pleasure?
