Point of Divergence
The Point of Divergence is Approximately 1000 A.D. Thorvald Eriksson instead of being killed by a native he completely avoids the encounter and establishes a permanent North American settlement. This was established in OTL Newfoundland and not much later his brother hearing of this managed to establish yet another settlement which went on to persist and prosper for years to come until Contact with Europe was unceremoniously severed without reason (This coincides with the essential end of the Vikings going on raiding and the ability to settle new lands).
