Why did Vikings never establish permanent settlements in America?
In this video I'm trying to answer the question why Vikings left America instead of establishing a permanent settlement. I'm not a historian but I'll quote my sources so that you can check for yourself if you're interested.
As far as I can see there are 3 main reasons why the Vikings failed to colonize what they called Vinland:
1.) Their difference in technology compared to the natives was not high enough to compensate for their lack of numbers, and fighting threatened to wear them down. The presence of a substantial local population also made Vinland a lot less appealing than Iceland or Greenland.
2.) Norway at the time was not wealthy enough to provide the same support as Spain did in the 16th century
3.) The exploration did not enjoy backup by a centralized government, it was basica...

Skræling- Original Song by Ryan Dawson
A new original. "Skræling," is the name that Vikings gave to the Inuit people they found living in Greenland and North America. It is not used here in that context exactly.

Smile
I don't love you for your lies
I don't want you in disguise
Like a jumper from the heights
Dead
On the split floor of the sea
And the sulfur in me
And the phosphorous bright
Stray,
Little skraeling, through woods
Where the will-o-the-wisp
And the marsh candles burn
Into whispering domes
From the trees, crushed in gloom
Climbing into my room
Little skraeling, come home
Light
Like the pinions of the dawn
And the heat lingers on
Till the morning is gone
Wait
Where the sea gutters green,
Water pearling pristine,
Where the shearwaters dream
Stray,
Little skraeling, through w...

2.) Norway at the time was not wealthy enough to provide the same support as Spain did in the 16th century
3.) The exploration did not enjoy backup by a centralized government, it was basically just individuals making the decision to explore this new land. Which made internal conflict among the settlers quite devastating.

I don't love you for your lies
I don't want you in disguise
Like a jumper from the heights
Dead
On the split floor of the sea
And the sulfur in me
And the phosphorous bright
Stray,
Little skraeling, through woods
Where the will-o-the-wisp
And the marsh candles burn
Into whispering domes
From the trees, crushed in gloom
Climbing into my room
Little skraeling, come home
Light
Like the pinions of the dawn
And the heat lingers on
Till the morning is gone
Wait
Where the sea gutters green,
Water pearling pristine,
Where the shearwaters dream
Stray,
Little skraeling, through woods
Where the will-o-the-wisp
And the marsh candles burn
Into whispering domes
From the trees, crushed in gloom
Climbing into my room
Little skraeling, come home
