as all of you know the norse colony of vinland was highly influential to modern day history because the vinlanders introduced cow pox, European livestock and metal weapons and, cause of the introduction of medieval weapons advanced the native civilzations like the Mississippian civilization and...

The History of Vinland Original Volume. Circa 1824 Sir Douglas Johnson. Chapter 1 - Creation of a State 1000 AD To understand the Creation of Vinland, we must first look at the situation is Scandinavia. In the early days of the eleventh century, the Nordic countries were divided into two...

Let's say that the band of Paleo-Indians which were the first humans to reach the Americas all die in a snowstorm while crossing Beringia, leaving the New World/the Americas uninhabited until the Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut peoples migrate from Siberia on boats, the Vikings land in Vinland, and the...

The Scenario of Vinland surviving in America and expanding, is a very popular idea. But if Vinland did survive, natives and Norse relations are peaceful, more settlers arrive until mid-1100 AD, the Vinland Norse have a large population, could they expand into parts of America? Also, if those...

Repository for my ideas about Norse settlements in Americas. Oileándearg - Irish-Beothuk name for Vinland. Lord's Land - first Irish settlement on Vinland, located in the eastern part of an island. Thorvaldsbudir - first Norse settlement in Vinland. Originally, a winter camp, later evolved into...

This alternate timeline takes a look at if a Norse presence existed in Newfoundland and Labrador up to the modern day. 999 A.D. - 1497 A.D. Norse settlement of Vinland (Newfoundland) begins. The native Beothuk inhabitants are eventually killed off through disease & warfare. Norse from Vinland...

1035: OTL coastal Massachusetts "Fleeing the violent skrælings of the north, and not deterred enough to leave, Thorfinn Karlsefni departed south in the early years of the 11th century. He and his settlers traveled down the east coast of the newly discovered land until they reached a great bay...

So, I received my copy of Rome West today, and was wondering if anybody would like to help me flesh it out a little bit. A bit of background: Rome West is an alternate history comic book originally released online and published in physical form by Dark Horse Comics. The PoD is a Roman fleet...

In OTL, the Norse settlers in America were driven out quickly. So quickly, in fact, that there were no major epidemics spread by them in America, leaving the Spanish in 1492 to spread disease such as smallpox to screw over the Indians. Let's say the Vinlandic colony survives longer and...

This scenario attempts to take a sober approach to a Vinland timeline. Most other vinland timelines dream up grand continent wide Norse Empires and Norse-Indian hybrid confederations. I'll try to lay out what a reality based timeline would look like in order for Vinland, or more specifically...

Prologue I: Introduction The coat of arms of the Estridsen dynasty. Itself a maternal branch of the Jelling Dynasty. One of the most important and influential European houses, best known for supplying a long series of Danish Kings. It rose to prominence in around the 12th-13th century. Its...

How would this change history? The three biggest changes that I can see are: Native American depopulation from European diseases happens circ. 1000 CE, centuries before OTL European colonization of the Americas happens, which enables the native Americans to rebound and better resist those...

I pretty sure this idea may have been proposed, but what if the Megafauna Extinction at the end of the Ice Age didn't occur? This means North America would be populated by various mammoth, tapir, rhino, and big cat species. And more importantly for natives that came to America: peccaries, horses...

I think I have a fairly unique idea I would like to to share with you guys. Harald Hardrada is known to have taken an expedition to Bjarmland(sp?). I think that his time at court of the Romans revealed to him the vast wealth of the eastern trade, and he was in fact looking for the north-east...

I guess this is as good a place to start as any. I'm making a computer game with an alternative history setting called Vinland: 1936. It takes place in a world where, in 878 the Danes defeated Alfred the Weak and conquered England. They used the country as a jumping off point to settle more...

Winner of the 2020 Turtledoves for Best Early Modern Timeline Introduction "A prince being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast must imitate the fox and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from snares, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be...

Okay so to start off lets not talk about whether or not the Norse can establish a successful Vinland, there are a million threads out there about that already (though I think they're on the verge of being necro'd). So assuming the Norse have a stable presence on the Island of Newfoundland or...

So I guess this has been done over and over again, but really I d like to examine what would have happened if the Norse had survived in Vinland and what effects would it have if other events remained the same
