Ship tech dominated (84%), far ahead of silver (4%), political weakness (5%), and climate (7%). No surprise there — the longship wasn’t just transport, it was freedom, fear, and empire built into wood and iron. Without it, there’s no Lindisfarne raid, no Great Heathen Army, no North Sea Empire. Quick question to keep the debate alive: If ship tech made Viking expansion possible… what single decision turned them from raiders into rulers? One sentence. Best takes get featured. 🔥
