The Vinland settlement failed because of poor adaptation, logistical distance, and persistent Indigenous resistance.
“And they. They do not adapt, number one. Number two, they're 2,000 plus miles away from Norway and getting resupplied. And although they are extremely good sailors and explorers and traders, I think this is a little too far. And then thirdly is the native resistance. It's just too incessant.”
