Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Norse settlements in Newfoundland died out before Columbus's voyages and had no lasting impact on history.

The Norse settlements were eventually abandoned due to a combination of factors such as harsh weather conditions, conflicts with the locals, and difficulty in acquiring resources.
