They are of special interest to us in our endeavor to understand who we are, not so much because most of us have Viking forebears (although a great many people with immediate roots in Ireland, Scotland, England, and northwestern France, as well as in Scandinavia, do), but because they give us a clearer, more detailed picture of that pure essence of Indo-European Whiteness - which is the common heritage of us all, whether our recent ancestors were Germans, Celts, Balts, or Slavs - than we can obtain from a study of any other European people.
Like two great waves of raiders, conquerors, and colonizers before them, the Goths and the Anglo-Saxons, they came from the Nordic heartland: southern Sweden and Norway, the Danish peninsula, the adjoining portion of northern Germany, and the nearby North Sea and Baltic islands. JUST AS IT WAS the Northmen who, by imposing order on Europe’s eastern frontier in the second half of the first millennium, stiffened that frontier and made Russia a White racial bulwark against the non-White hordes of Asia, it was also the Northmen who, in the same era, pushed Europe’s western frontier westward across the great, unknown Ocean Sea, opening up new lands for settlement by succeeding generations of our race.Ĭalled many names - Danes, Geats, Norsemen, Rus, Swedes, Varangers - they are best known to us by the name which is also used to characterize both the age in which they flourished and the way of life of many of them: Vikings.
