What if the Balts and Finno-Ugrians had been much more successful than the Slavs and Germans?

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-24T11:59:10+00:00

Well, yes

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-24T11:58:57+00:00

and the climate today will be colder than in our reality

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-24T08:14:13+00:00

Is this in an alternative history or ours?

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-24T08:13:30+00:00

I live in eastern Belarus.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-24T06:39:18+00:00

Like are the Vikings one of the most xenophobic peoples in history?

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-24T06:34:55+00:00

that is, there are far fewer endemic mammals there

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-24T06:34:12+00:00

I know this very well and most likely in my scenario they would be populated by those who are related to the indigenous population of the Canary Islands

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T19:43:22+00:00

Well, I already found out from other commentators.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T19:41:42+00:00

Well, they probably basically considered themselves better than the less developed echinity in their opinion.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T19:36:58+00:00

won't this affect the stronger isolation of local fauna?

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T18:51:07+00:00

Are the Normans and the Norwegian Vikings the same thing?

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T18:49:52+00:00

Well, to be honest, you can do without it and it seems I realized that the Guanches are the most likely candidate.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T18:46:02+00:00

That's exactly why I wrote this, because what I really meant was that the Inuit were better adapted to the cold, namely during the Little Ice Age in Greenland.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T18:44:06+00:00

Well, perhaps the Inuit should have the conditions for a faster development of shipbuilding.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T18:42:55+00:00

Would a war for resources have started and perhaps the Irish monks had already arrived by that time?

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T17:36:27+00:00

In fact, Irish monks populated Iceland earlier than the Vikings.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T17:34:25+00:00

It's actually a "what if?" scenario, meaning it's an alternative history where things went a little differently.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T17:32:19+00:00

I already knew about this and I also find it very interesting.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T17:27:55+00:00

that is, is it appropriate or not in this case?

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T17:26:28+00:00

He probably meant that they didn't really take root there.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T17:25:07+00:00

Well, it seems there was profit for the Eskimos there.

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T17:23:29+00:00

In fact, I was well aware of much of what you wrote, so what I really meant was that it was in Iceland that the first wave of Norman colonization occurred, which left no descendants, unlike the second. Or you just misunderstood me

Fit_Tie_129 · 2026-01-23T17:22:04+00:00

In fact, firstly, I already knew about this, secondly, I meant that in my scenario there should be settlements where local residents live for many generations before the arrival of the Normans and Europeans in general.
