The Viking expancion:the discovery of America was done accidentally by Bjarni Herjofsson . Bjarni believed that his father went with Erick the Red to Greenland.So he took his crew and started to travel to find him.But during the travel a storm blows Bjarni out of course. Another problem was that no one knew Greenland and they started a search for it and at that's how he was in America.
Another exploration started with Leif Ericsoon who stablished Vinland in New Found Land , Labrador ,Canada. They found grapes and salmon.The climate was mild and there was little frost. Ater the trip Leif become a Christian.
The Vikings were sea faring men intent on setting their mark on their neighbors by fire and sword. "From the the land of ice and giants, they swept across Europe like a forest fire , raping , pillaging and destroying everything in their path".
In a blood thirsty age they were more blood thristy than most , but consider that the people that did the writting were those that were between the Vikings and their silver.
