Why didn't the vikings and Leif Eriksson spread disease like Cortes did?

Why didn't the vikings and Leif Eriksson spread disease like Cortes did?

>horned helmet

unlike the filthy, greasy iberians, the vikings washed themselves

Who's to say they didn't?

because they weren't smart

It's well known that vikings and germanics in general put a lot of emphasis on a clean outer appearance and bodily hygiene, befitting of a noble and advacned people like them

They were clean and pure.

A woman ruined everything.

I misread OP as spread like a disease.
Disregard.

Because the Vikings spent two weeks on the coast of Newfoundland and never actually touched the mainland. Cortes actually launched an invasion upon the mainland

>north tribesman that live in small isolated villages
>Small villages don't house disease well

>Stinky spaniards who stuffed themselves on a boat with animals and spoiled food
>Come from dense cities with shit filled streets, animals and no way to shower
>Traders from other smelly shit filled cities visit spanish cities constantly

Hmmmm

Because we Northmen aren't disease-ridden manlets like the Spaniards are.

Because it wasn't just the white man who brought disease, it was also brought by seals.

Because they webt north where the native population was smaller and less dense.

>Rhorrim

were they even aware of smallpox?
wait is that the disease cortes did i think it was british doing that to natives. im a little confused

Because they got BTFO by the Inuits before disease could spread.

B A S E D Inuits

This pic makes me hard.

Why didn't the natives spread diseases to Whitey?

>sedentary agricultural society with millions of people vs sparse settlement of hunter gatherers
but yeah primitive nordcuck master race as well

Much more difficult to spread disease in sparsely populated, cold Vinland, than in (relatively) densely populated, hot and humid tropical America.

Because they didn't sleep with farm animals like Europeans.

Because the are washed them self at least once a week.

Probably because there was less contact between them and the native tribes lived too far apart for any disease to spread efficiently

Disease fears the norse warrior.

Out of 25 replies total, only these four are correct non-shitposts, even though OP's question is actually quite pertinent.
The absolute fucking state of Veeky Forums, jesus christ.

Syphilis comes from the new world.

I'm guessing so everyone tear my post apart;
>Colder climate does affect disease rates, as does population density
>Vikings had already visited the Americas and it's possible the population was already affected or immunized against many of their diseases

This
Vinland is a wintery shithole with hunter-gatherers that poke their heads out of the trees every 4 months, while Mexico was one of the most densely populated areas of the world

it's literally just becoming /pol/

The Spaniards didnt bring diseases, it was actually their black slaves.

The first part is pretty good, the second is unlikely. A couple English fishermen accidentally wiped out a whole tribe in New England.
