Question

Did the nordic people destroyed the southern europen empire.....?????

Answer 1

~Define "Nordic" and "southern European".

The various Teutonic tribes, from the Celts and Gauls to the Etruscans and Lombards to the Vikings, Vandals and Visigoths, with a myriad of others in between, conquered and/or assimilated every civilization in what is now modern Europe (including other existing Teutonic cultures and civilizations) and were the driving force which created the modern western world. In that respect, they created the southern (and other) European empires, then knocked them down and created new ones. Those same Teutons went on and colonized the Western hemisphere and Austrialia and created empires in the Pacific Basin, Asia and Africa.

By way of example, after the Teutonic empire founded by the Etruscans, Tuscans, Villanovans and Lombards (i.e., Rome) was demolished by their cousins the Goths, Visigoths, the Vandals and other Teuts, the Gauls and Franks, having been kicked out of present day Germany, settled in what is now France, booting their Angle, Saxon and Celt cousins off shore to the British Isles. Of course, when the Nordic Teutons decided that they wanted a piece of the action in France, the Gauls, now calling themselves "French" ceded the mouth of the Sienne to them as tribute creating Normandy - named after the Norsemen. Of course, the Normans were not satisfied and they conquered the British Isles while interestingly enough leaving their cousins the Bretons pretty much alone in Brittany. Meanwhile, the less adventurous Scandinavians steered clear of the open water and continued to trade and plunder all along the Danube, the Rhone, the Rhine, the Arno, the Inn, the Po and most any other waterway that would take them to the Mediterrean. Other "Vikings", the Rus, settled throughout the Ukraine and along the Urals.

But for two world wars, I suppose everyone in the modern western world would be bragging about their Teuton blood rather than to be claiming some heritage such as "French", "British", "Scottish", "Welsh", "Irish", "Spanish", "Italian", "American", "Russian", well, you get the idea.

The Nordic Teutons were simply a small part of the ongoing process and Rome was but one of many Teutonic creations. In short, the "Nordic Europeans" along with their central, eastern, western and southern Teutonic European cousins created not only every civilization that they sacked and destroyed but they created the modern western world as we know it.

As you can see from the answers you are getting here from the self-proclaimed "historians", it behooves you to do some reading on a legitimate site (if, of course, it is accurate information you seek). It would also help if you would define your terms when formulating the question. For instance, to my knowledge at least, the Lapps (clearly "Nordic Europeans") never invaded Greece and her "southern European" empire, nor did the Saami ever try to take on the Ottomans.

Answer 2

Well that depends if you mean the ROMANS yes they were conquered by the Northern tribes of Germany such as the Lombards, the Visigoths, and even the Franks to name some.

The Nordic Vikings did not come along until well after Rome had fallen. Only the eastern Empire the Byzantines were still around the time of the Vikings. It was the Muslims that conquered Constantinople in the 14th century.

Answer 3

A new theory has emerged recently stating that blondes are a genetic mutation that occurred in Northern Europe eons ago and the white race developed over ages of selective breeding. It makes sense to me. The vast majority of the earth's peoples have brown eyes and dark skin. If it was adaptation to the north Eskimos would be blonde. Even the original inhabitants of the UK were a dark people.

Answer 4

No. They did go down to areas such as Scotland, Ireland, and England as well as parts of the East coast of what is now New England.

Southern Europe wasn't an "empire" but a huge part of Europe became the Holy Roman Empire (it was neither holy nor Roman; discuss).

Answer 5

The Southern European Empire? I can only presume that you are referring to Rome. In that sense, no, eastern peoples were primarlily responsible for the downfall of Rome.
