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.

Answer:

Explanation:

President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) was the 34th president of the United States of America between 1953 to 1961. He worked well with the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to thaw the cold war at the end of 1950s. In May 1960, their cooperation ended prematurely when diplomatic crises erupted because the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were said to have gunned down an American U-2 spy plane in Soviet air space.

President Eisenhower was compelled to admit to the soviets that the central intelligence unit of his country has been sending out spy missions for several years in the USSR.
