It didn't do jack shit to the Normans.

They settled, they got christianized, ""civilized"" by franks, and still they were running around Europe and the Mediterranean sniffing for conquerable land and booty.

Of course there were still fights between different groups but in the end when we are talking about "full" christianization we talk about a time around 1000ad or something like that and even later for other parts of Europe. Mission wasnt as fast as we sometimes think about it nowadays.

Christianity was a necessary form of pacification for the Germanics to form advanced civilization.

>I mean christianity was still very warlike for most of its existance.
There needs to be a distinction between war and interpersonal violence. War still happened with Christianity but the latter was vastly reduced. A pacified population with low rates of interpersonal violence is a prerequisite for advanced civilization.

I have read that with regards to Romans but never with regars to Germanics.
First of all, many if not most Germanics were Christians when they were the obvious reason for the fall of the Roman Empire, the issue was they were Arran Christians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism, not Orthodox/Catholics.
Charlemagne genocided Saxons to convert them to Christianity, and the Teutonic knights converted balts to Christianity by force.

This. You can't really advance as a people when you're too busy getting revenge on your neighbor to avenge your honor when they're rude to you in the hall or something.
