<h1>Piracy is a crime at sea, and the realization of the dream of wealth by intercepting and skimming ships has always been the target of naval attacks by various countries. </h1>
From ancient times to the present, there have been many pirates born in the world, the most famous of which are the Vikings and Pirates of the Caribbean, and others such as: Ming Dynasty Wokou, Malacca pirates, Somali pirates, Black Sea pirates, Adriatic pirates, Mediterranean pirates, Pacific pirates Qing Lady, etc., are small in scale. Even for fishermen who have lost their livelihoods. Among these pirates, the Vikings are the most far-reaching, famous and powerful pirates in the world, even the Pirates of the Caribbean are weak in front of the Vikings.
The Vikings are the predecessors of these countries and peoples in what is now Northern Europe, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and iceland, Vikings, which in Nordic mean "travel" and "plunder". It became a climate from the eighth century AD until the 11th century AD.
The Vikings were a relatively contradictory group, most of whom were skilled craftsmen, omnipotent in animal husbandry and farming, skilled in navigation, and very good at metallurgy. The Viking swords they made of high-carbon steel are extremely sharp, although they are not as sharp as the Tang knives and strange knives of China's contemporary steel filling method, but they are also famous in the world. They are brave and good at war, but they are bandits who do no evil, killing and cutting in all directions, and their methods are cruel.
The Vikings traveled throughout Europe, bordering the Red Sea in the south, North America in the west, and Baghdad in the east. Appears as a pirate when he appears in front of the people for the first time, so he is called a "Viking Pirate"
Let's go to the dry goods, first compete with the hard power of these pirates, comprehensive: naval combat strength, navigation technology, scale, ability to plunder movable real estate, and the impact on future generations.
<h1>Vikings</h1>
The Vikings are known as barbarian peoples, brave and good at war, fierce to the extreme, simple naval warfare ability, Vikings and Drake pirates, Silesian pirates are the first echelon. In the era when Vikings swept across the seas, not to mention other pirates, no country in the world could compete with the regular navy, including the Roman navy, which was finally destroyed by the Vikings.
Vikings had advanced navigation and shipbuilding techniques, and the biggest symbol on their fast sails was a black dragon head, so some people called them Dragon Pirates. The unique Sunstone navigation technology allows you to navigate the sea on rainy days. It is the first in the world to achieve the same latitude navigation fleet. They marched west to Newfoundland and east to become Slavic kings, the world's contemporaries in seafaring technology.
Vikings are different from other pirates, belonging to amphibious pirates, land siege strategy, in England, France, Russia, Spain, North America Northern Europe siege strategy, but also established a number of countries. The Atlantic Ocean, the North Pacific, the Red Sea, the Sea of Barrons, etc. kill and rob goods, and take advantage of them.
They are also called "bracelet givers", which means that the leader will reward his followers with the treasure they have stolen for their loyalty and bravery. In layman's terms, it is absolutely generous in terms of money, with its own pirate spirit and principles, so in some places such as Northern Europe and Western Europe. There is also a special commemoration of the Viking "Pirate Festival".
<h1>Pirates of the Caribbean</h1>
The Pirates of the Caribbean business is mainly at sea, from the Americas to Madagascar in Africa, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean are their business scope, the peak of the scale is very large, even the Morwal dynasty pilgrimage Mai family gifts have become their booty, the most famous Captain Drake has completed the feat of circumnavigation, the Antarctic Drake Strait is also named after him.
Pirates of the Caribbean have the ability to plunder movable property first, the annual dividend profits of the gang members are very considerable, almost everyone can get the equivalent of a castle property, the proportion of robbery and death is 4800%, and the huge profits even attracted Queen Elizabeth to the shares. But the sinking of the Drake Golden Deer, which was loaded with dozens of tons of gold and silver and other treasures, was seriously damaged.
The combat effectiveness of the Caribbean sea can not be compared with the Vikings, when the royal frigate will be hidden, so it can only be ranked in the second echelon, the Pirates of the Caribbean time is very short, can be said to be happy and suddenly defeated, left to future generations, is a one-eyed dragon captain.
<h1>Other pirates</h1>
The stronger of the other pirates was the Silesian pirates, and the Silesian pirate sea was very powerful, and the Roman Empire had concentrated all its strength and sent such a famous general as Pompey to destroy the Silesian island.
The Chinese Wokou, the Wokou, are actually a maritime criminal gang composed of wandering samurai, ronin, anarchists, criminals, etc. The combat effectiveness is a little higher, at least higher than that of Somali pirates and Malacca pirates. I have never sailed far, nor have any navigational skills. And the reputation of the Wokou pirates is very poor, let alone China, even Japan itself at that time felt annoying, and has been calling it a maritime criminal gang composed of Chinese. Malacca pirates and Somali pirates are the most dish pirates, there is no navigation technology at all, most of them are composed of desperate fishermen, no matter which country's regular navy, can kill these pirates in minutes.
<h1>Seeing this, everyone may understand one or two, Vikings are once deserved sea robber overlords, this is only one aspect, on the other hand, Vikings have also brought great influence to future generations:</h1>
The West has always admired the spirit of piracy, believing that the spirit of piracy represents individuality, freedom, adventure, persistence, bravery and enterprising spirit of pioneering uncharted territory, and is full of sea wolf thought and humanistic spirit. Apple Jobs was once an admirer of the spirit of piracy, and erecting a pirate flag at the top of the company building at the beginning of the business meant challenging the rules, breaking the rules, and never sticking to the rules of the corporate culture. This spirit is the complete opposite of the pursuit of peace, stability, patience, and moderation by the eastern agrarian civilization, and is a variant of the law of the jungle.
The reason for the demise of vikings, from prosperity to decline, is the law of all things. At the end of the 11th century, independent states and kings emerged in Northern Europe and christianity was adopted. After entering the Middle Ages, the national strength, military and economy of the countries of northwestern Europe continued to increase, and they had completely resisted the Vikings, so the Vikings also came to an end.
<h1>Western Viking Festival</h1>
<h1>The Vikings' will to fight and enterprising spirit have always been respected by the West, and even the "Slavs" who are now known as the fighting people are actually the inheritance of the Vikings</h1>
