 * Introduction of Viking Colony at Greenland **

In 985, after being outlawed for murder, Erik the Red brought the first Viking colony to Greenland. He gave it the name ‘Greenland’ in hope that it would draw in many new settlers. The colony flourished quickly and rose to the peak of about 5000. However, when the climate turned for the worse, the colony of the Vikings followed. The colony survived for nearly 500 years before their demise, leaving no trace to the exact reason of their collapse.
