    This document discusses the early European exploration and discovery of North America. It notes that the Vikings, not Christopher Columbus, were the first Europeans to discover North America, with Leif Erikson landing in Canada around 1000 AD. However, the Vikings did not establish permanent settlements due to attacks from Native Americans and being too far from Scandinavia for support. It was not until 400 years later that Europeans returned to North America. The document also introduces Prince Henry the Navigator and his role in making Portugal a leader in exploration by establishing a navigation school.
