If Norse had settled in the Americas, instead of the barbaric Iberians, Brits, Dutch and French

What would happen in the Americas if the Norse had succeed in establishing colonies in the Americas, rather than the European people that followed five centuries afterwards?

I believe Norse had treated natives in a more human manner. After all, there are still small genetic clues that point to Amerindian women send to far away Scandinavia in the Middle Ages by the Norse. I also believe the New World would have been spared of most of the suffering the late Europeans brought here.

Your thoughts.

As long as Christianity don't come along and fuck things up(see relationship between Norse and Saami)

[pinguino]

Absolutely. I think Christianism destroyed Norse impulse of spreading and conquer, as well.

Idk. It would have been weird. The Native population would be much greater. Would there have been much more racial mixing in Latin America to the scale there is now?

We would have never existed.

Interesante que tengas esta opinión cuando en otros foros considerabas a los Nórdicos unos rubios incompetentes que "fueron hechos mierda por los Inuits".

Actually, here was the result of Norse settlement in the New World:



Needless to say, it didn't turn out as well as it could've....for the Norse that is.

They had guilt for their pillaging of Britain & Ireland.

Slavery & piracy, had went out of fashion.

Obviously they didn't have that great relationships if skraelings cut them down. So i interprit those who settled Americas were invaders with insuficient diplomacy and weaponry.
