I agree with that. I'd predict that the North American Norse would eventually expand westward along the St. Lawrence river and the great lakes. While northern French Québec and British Massachusetts bay colonies would be wiped out by NAN raiders, southern colonies such as Virginia and Carolina for the British and Louisiana for the French would be possible. The Dutch New Holland colony may fair better as NAN neighbors. So with this time line no one celebrates those hypocritical Puritans called the Pilgrims with Thanksgiving. I'd even go as far as saying that the border between either New Holland and New England (Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, Georgia, and maybe Delaware) would be the Mason Dixon line, and the Ohio river. While the French Louisiana and New England border would be the Mississippi river initially, or at least until the inevitable French and Indian war of 1754-1763. With a larger colonial presence in the new world, the British would have still won that war, and the colonies may not have revolted, as the southern colonies had more loyalists than the north to begin with. The only reason that the Continentals won the Revolution was because of strategic blunders in the south by Cornwallis and Ferguson. By sending "don't get involved, or we'll burn you out" letters to the Scots-Irish settlers of western North Carolina they alienated potential supporters, and created determined enemies instead.

To be perfectly honest and with history the Vikings weren't even the first. Phoenicians was the first, followed by Roman Christians. Then Irish monks fleeing Vikings. Then Vikings. Then Chinese. The Welsh lost at see. Then Azore fishermen, (the dried fish Columbus bought on the Azore Islands was from Florida). Then Columbus. Then Mali empire soldiers. Yes there is evidence to all of this. Even a cave in Brazil has writing in Phoenician. Says they was mining gems there for seven years but tensions with the locals forced them to abandon it.

I think the later colonists would have one major advantage over the Norse colony...gunpowder. Even though firearms were primitive in 1492, they would gradually improve over the coming centuries. That would make them a game-changer in this Euro-Norse War. Also, I think the Viking colony might have inadvertently made it harder for the later Europeans to colonize elsewhere. The Vikings would bring with them European diseases much earlier than in OTL. That might give the natives a chance to build up an immunity to them as well as allowing them a few centuries to repopulate after the initial outbreak. Thus, the Spanish and Portuguese would have a much harder time conquering South America and the English and French would have a much more difficult time in the North.

In my observation, the Norse are very good at inserting themselves into an already exsisting government structure and often does well where they're the minority. They assimilate and unite the different cultures as they have no preconception of each cultures. The Ruriks united various Slavic Tribes, the Normans assimilating to the French customs and assimilate the different groups of Southern Italy. They inserted themselves into the Byzantine Nobility and go on Crusading and establish Crusader States.

There are 492 years between Leif Erikson's discovery of Vinland and Columbus discovering the West Indies. In contrast, Jamestown was only settled 413 years ago. It was noticeable that once established English settlements in America would double in population every generation due to the plentiful farmland for new families even if immigration was subtracted. So any viable settlement would be an expanding settlement with a growing population spreading exponentially across America. Once they have a population big enough for full-sized armies no native resistance would stand a chance and Norse farms would spread across all of North America by the time of Columbus. Viking longboats would already be raiding the Aztecs and Caribbean for gold and conquest. Vinlanders may continue trading with the old world bringing back technology so they might already have Viking tall ships.

Someone did a documentary on whether or not the Vikings reached Minnesota. They could not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Vikings made it to MN, but they did discover that an expedition left Iceland at a time that matches the date on the Kensington Runestone. While there is controversy over the authenticity of the Runestone, there are 2 interesting facts about it. The expedition from Iceland was similar in size to the group mentioned on the stone. The other thing was that the runes on the stone had some unique runes which matched runes used by the Icelandic court during that time. It is not enough to "prove" that the Vikings made it to MN, but it does keep open the idea that they could have.

We could arguably see something similar to the Kievan Rus develop in the Missisipi basin, with ultimate trading targets in the more developed cultures of Mesoamerica in place of the Byzantines and the Arabs. Arguably the influence of a consistent Norse colony would spread well beyond their would be meager territory in the north east. The advance of metal working technology, horses and European germs into the heartland of North America - again, through the easily navigable Missisipi - would transform the local people. By the time Cortes reaches Mesoamerica, it's societies would be largely innoculated from European diseases, would arguably have metal weapons and even cavalry, presenting a much tougher nut for the Spanish to crack. How that would turn out - and in the case of Cortes failing, would Pizzaro even attempt the conquest of the Inca - is certainly a fascinating topic of discussion.

States resulting from intermixing between Natives and Norse would have also existed. Not to mention, through interactions with the Norse, some Natives night have acquired knowledge about metallurgy, domesticated animals and some resistance to diseases, which would allow them to expand south.

For the next part of this growing series. What if the Norse did integrate their communities with the natives? (The starts of the republic of Vinland). And then European colonial efforts had to come in conflict with an organized Vinland and a native population that had, had their immune systems introduced to the European biomes before.

I think cultural melding would be way more likely in this version since the polyteistic religion would easier allow for it. Also the lacking influx of new settlers would probably force it upon the Norse at some point.

Frankly, I think something like this would have happened except for, The Little Ice Age in which, the Greenland colony perished and the Iceland colony barely survived. Absent the The Little Ice Age caused by the corresponding Grand Solar Minimum, your scenario or something similar probably would have happened. Humans have always been subject to the weather derived from what the Sun does. And, lest any mistake, that subjectivity HAS NOT changed.

the little ice age was likely caused by volcanic activity, at least in the region of newfoundland, greenland, iceland and scotland that was the main driver

Was a little sad when you mentioned the interactions with other cultures there was no mention of the norse interactions with the sami people, as the sami and natives in north america do have a fair few similarities in terms of both having shamanism and some other things. Though the main positive interaction between the sami and the norse was the sami building them boats so maybe it isn't really important

I'm working on a similar alternate history theory myself. And I personally think the Norse Americans would also expand abit south along the coasts at least. From Vinland downwards is alot of prime agricultural type of land. Which the Norse would want to establish a breadbasket region as soon as they could. Especially given that trade would be restricted for abit, since they'd have to recover from their long voyage. But once that happens they'd need a efficient supply of food in order to fuel their growth and societal developments, such as fortifications and the like.

You missed a detail. After centuries of European diseases sweeping through the Americas like wildfire, the native tribes and empires would develop immunities to many of them, making later colonization take on a very different charecter. For one thing, healthier natives post contact means less need for Spain and Portugal to bring in African slaves. Caribbean ethnic and cultural history takes on a MUCH different trajectory just due to that. Fewer natives dieing of smallpox also means a higher Indian to White ratio in the western hemisphere.

@@DameOfDiamonds you really think the vikings could have killed an entire continent of people? And bear in mind that in our timeline 90 percent of the natives were dead becouse of our deseases when we came across new land, so imagine how populated it must be without smallpox. And the vikings and native americans, militarily, and with weapons tech, were much more on par with the vikings back then, then the natives were to the spanish in the 16th century. The lack of technological advancement on the European part also makes it harder to colonise, so the natives would have more time to copy the technology and political systems (westernise) then in our timeline.

I think the horse and iron weapons would've spread to the plains people and beyond by the time Europe came back. A steppe like culture might emerge there. Beyond, you could imagine a scenario where the Aztecs had rapidly grown in power in the decades just prior to Spanish contact as the horse made its way through the empire. Instead of catching these civilizations on the decline they would've found an increasingly and newly united people in a technological revolution. And poised to better take advantage of new technology the Europeans would be bringing.

I think in this timeline the natives would’ve had many more chances against the later colonists, as the Viking would’ve brought over diseases from the old world and they would’ve spread across the americas centuries before the later colonists ever got there, so they would’ve had time to repopulate after the initial dying, allowing for greater resistance to European invasion. Once the natives and Vikings got their hands on firearms, it would become much more difficult for Europeans to colonize inland, and lead to much stronger native control over their lands.

Much (a minority but a non-negligible one) Quebeckers are actually "Normans" that are actually of Viking origin that ended up under the French or Scottish administration whom they served (the French and Scottish discoverers had interpreters, which means that the contact established by the Norse had not been lost to the Normans of Normandy and Coastal England) and also entered in alliances with Amerindian nations against others. Many Amerindian nations were actually of rather Caucasian stock : the Mississippi was the line beyond which the mean genetics were more Asian-like. Newfoundland is a fishing place where various Keltic and Scandinavian dialects survived for a long time in villages. The history of the European conquest of America is much more blurry than supposed.

I didn't know about Helluland and Markland. I'm surprised you didn't mention the stone off an island in Martha's Vineyard that's supposedly carved by Leif Eriksson in 1001. Also Women were warriors in the Viking culture and were equal members of society. Also Iceland was COMPLETELY UNINHABITED when the Vikings arrived!!! That as well as it's climate made it the perfect place to settle
