Englands King Alfred the Great 871 to 899 defeating and baptizing the Vikings captured and not killing them may be the single biggest reason for the Vikings way of life disappearing forever by the 13th century or soon after. Early 8th century Vikings I read weren’t suicidal but would trade with English, Irish, Scots, Welsh and Saxon tribes but always sizing them up for strength or weakness. Be aware those first Vikings were seafarers transiting on oared boats with sails but the main source of power were Viking men rowing as a crew in synchronized rowing. Synchronized rowing was at the time the ultimate CrossFit fitness exercise and for sure kept these early ocean goers fit and working as a unit. The average age of men and women right up to the first fossil fuels electrified the West in the 1890’s was in their 30’s. Life for 50% was short and the weak perished usually with little chance of passing on their DNA or raising children if they had them. Death assured the weak were underrepresented in the general early English population and due to capital punishment being in force from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, criminals and murders were quickly dispatched by the Christian AngloSaxons. Their DNA was also up to the task in taking on these Vikings. The most effective tool defeating these Viking warriors was forcing their leader and warriors to be baptized into Christianity in defeat when captured. Baptizing them effectively made them another tribe of the United Kingdom and more effective than “Drawing and Quartering” the captured Viking warriors. When weakness was perceived and I suspect the early monks must have been seen as both weak and like evil witch doctors to the Viking men, the Viking would strike first whoever they saw as weak and had goods they desired. Baptizing defeated Vikings was the end of the Vikings and Viking life. If they did return to Denmark or Scandinavia they brought with them remnants of this Christianity further watering down the Viking way of life. Remember in the 8th to 11th centuries Vikings traveled as far as Ukraine and were the tribe that founded and built Kiev in the 9th century. After the AngloSaxons ruled by King Alfred the Great defeated the Vikings and rather than kill them, instead baptized them this certainly undermined the Vikings way of life and civilized them. Once Christianity replaced Viking gods back in Scandinavia, Denmark and even Finland the Northmen ceased to exist as warriors conquering or being conquered in far away lands, end of an era. King Alfred the Great by planting the seed of Christianity into the defeated baptized Viking rulers and warriors in England, led to the eventual demise of the trader warrior Viking life style throughout Denmark, Scandinavia and finally Finland. Thanks for the video, much appreciated. I always wanted to know why the Vikings in Medieval history disappeared, now I know why, Christianity from England was infused into their culture and it displaced the male dominated trader-warrior Viking way of life. So the moral of the story, to save Britain today, is a Christian British ruler King of pious Christian belief, resolute Christian morals, Christian warrior king, must rise up and militarily defeat any new group of mostly fighting age non-English young men in England and in defeat when captured, rather than put them to death, baptize them Christian. Did I get that right? Oy vey, are you Brits with King “Fruit Loops Netzero” Charles as King today totally out of luck with that ever happening. L O L - I think you mates in the UK protest not enough and will be overrun soon enough by the Mohammed’s of Islam. ----- The life of Alfred the Great - thanks for the video

@@bouin91 The exact definition of us customary units are defined based on their equivalent in the metric system, they didn't used to be. It's not a matter of just one measure being equal to another unit of measurement. The metric system itself is defined by physics.

What a meaningless first. It's just a matter of semantics as to whether the air force was the first one or the first independent one. In 1913 France spent more on military planes than any other nation (25 times what Britain spent) by far while Italy had the first aviation club in 1909, aviation school in 1910, and Britain formed the Royal Flying Corps in 1912.
