The Vikings conquered land in South America before any other people landed on the continent: True False

False

Explanation:

It has become a well established fact that the first recorded Europeans in North America were the Vikings namely Leif Eriksson and companions/ extended family.

However, there is no evidence to suggest that they reached South America as it is believed that they only reached as far as modern day Canada where they remained for about a decade in Newfoundland.

There is a theory suggesting that some Vikings may have reached Brazil and Bolivia but this is not widely accepted by historians.
