During the Viking Age (c. 700 %E2%80" 1050 AD), Scandinavians suddenly enter the European scene. And they were to leave their mark over most of Europe and beyond. The Viking Age stands therefore as an formative period of European history. Especially due to the Scandinavian impact. For instance did the Viking discovery and colonization of Iceland, Greenland and New Foundland expand the borders of the known world, and their attacks and colonizations played significant roles in transforming societies west and south of Scandinavia. At the same time, the Viking homelands (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) went through a process of fundamental transformations, leading to the development of important places and institutions. In this way, the Vikings have left their mark and contributed to shaping the world that we are living in today, both in Scandinavia and beyond.
