Newfoundland is an amazing place that probably deserves more than 30 minutes to be fully appreciated but in this video we attempt to unpack all the historical details of this incredible island and how it came to be.

Thank you SO MUCH for including the story of the movie The Viking from 18:01 to about 19:36. That info is actually very hard to find in other places, so I was VERY surprised to see it here! It was a terrible tragedy, and the story is much longer and more complex. I urge people to look it up on Wikipedia, or even better, to Google it. It's very dramatic and sad!

I need to rewatch this. Just before itseems you have said that Nwfoundland was a seperate country from both Canada and England. I never knew that! And I'm a Canadian with many Newfie friends! I will need to research that!

Actually you are partially wrong in at least one area . Wild grapes at the time of the Viking settlement could not be found in Newfoundland and the farthest place north they could be found was New Brunswick… so even though they settled in NFLD they also made it at the very least to NB and probably NS and beyond

16th century no the vikings were there 500 years before that
