The significant factor in the decline of Viking raids in Europe was primarily the acceptance of Christianity by the Vikings and a warmer climate making farming easier. As the Vikings converted to Christianity, they began to integrate more into European societies and focused less on raiding. Additionally, a warmer climate during this period made agricultural practices more viable, which led to more stable economies and less dependence on raiding for resources. This shift contributed to the eventual decline of Viking raids.
