Erik the red is credited with giving greenland its name.

<h3>Who is Erik the red?</h3>
  • According to medieval and Icelandic saga traditions, the Norse explorer Erik Thorvaldsson, often known as Erik the Red, established the first settlement in Greenland between the years of 950 and 1003.
  • He probably got the nickname "the Red" because of the color of his hair and beard. He was born in the Jaeren neighborhood of Rogaland, Norway, as the son of Thorvald Asvaldsson, according to Icelandic sagas. Leif Erikson, a well-known Icelandic explorer, was one of Erik's sons.
  • Erik had a brief exile, following in his father's footsteps. His thralls (slaves) triggered a landslide on Valthjof's adjoining property, which led to the initial clash. Eyjolf the Foul, a friend of Valthjof's, afterwards executed the thralls. Erik then killed Eyjolf and Holmgang-Hrafn in vengeance.

How were nationalist revolts in latin america influenced by the french and american revolutions?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: Latinamericans felt themselves inferiors in their own countries. They could not held offices and they did not have full civil rights. In some countries (Brazil) there was a slavery. French and American revolutions translated ideas of Enlightenment (rationalism, constitutionalism, civil, political and human rights).

Explanation: In some Latinamerican countries there was no sufficient schooling and literacy what made the situation a bit difficult. Political and social emancipation took place only between higher, richer and more educated levels of society.
