		Northern Germanic culture: the northern Germanic culture eventually became the most homogenous of the three groups, the main reason for this was probably their isolated position in the Scandinavian peninsula as well as the long time it managed to prevent foreign influences like the Christianization.
		The northern Germanic branch was also the last one that got converted to Christianity which allowed them to continue developing their culture without foreign influences while the other two branches were Christianized much sooner and never got that chance.
		Although the western Germans had a very warlike spirit it can not be said that they were undeveloped barbarians; lots of proof against this has been found; beautifully decorated weapons and jewellry, runic writings, heroic poems, rich graves filled with personal belongings for the afterlife, and many other signs of civilization.
