first europeans to come to the New world were?

Answer 1

The Vikings.

Answer 2

There is no question here. The Vikings reached the 'New World' nearly five hundred years before Columbus, around the year 1000 AD under Leif Eriksson.

Whether ancient Greeks or Phoenicians reached the Americas is sometimes theorized, but there's no sufficient evidence to support this. However, the notion that the Spanish, French, or English came first is completely wrong.

Answer 3

The Vikings

Leif Eriksson, known from Icelandic sagas as a descendant from a line of Norwegian Viking chieftains, who had established the first European settlement in Greenland in about 985, was most likely the first European discoverer of America in about 1000.[4] His initial area of settlement is known as L'Anse aux Meadows located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Answer 5

The Capitalists. The Williamsburg Virginia colony was a business venture sponsored by a glass company. They settled on the river because it had clean sand and plenty of wood and freshwater. The materials and fuel needed to make glass. Which was in high demand. England used to have a lot of trees. They were burned up as fuel.
