The Vikings didn’t “conquer” new lands the way you might imagine. Rather than just raiding, they often settled, intermingled with the locals farmers and established new states.
As seen in Scottish Isles, Ireland, Danelaw (England), Ukraine, Faroes, Iceland, Normandy, Greenland, Newfoundland etc they sack some leadership but quickly integrate and evolve into mostly peaceful farming societies

Rather than just raiding, they often settled, intermingled with the locals farmers and established new states There aren’t any the viking settlements in the Americas from that time? Or at least evidence of intermingling with the locals.
