The origins of the Germanic peoples are obscure. During the late Bronze Age, they are believed to have inhabited southern Sweden, the Danish peninsula, and northern Germany between the Ems River on the west, the Oder River on the east, and the Harz Mountains on the south.
Are Germanic tribes Vikings?
No, only the North Germanic or “Norse” peoples, i.e. the peoples who became Swedes, Norwegians, Danes and Icelanders. And even then the term “viking” properly applied only to those who took part in overseas raids and expeditions. None of the germanic tribes were vikings.
What nationality were the Germanic tribes?
Origins. The Germanic peoples (also called Teutonic, Suebian, or Gothic in older literature) are an ethno-linguistic Indo-European group of northern European origin. They are identified by their use of Germanic languages, which diversified out of Proto-Germanic during the Pre-Roman Iron Age.
