The Vikings didn't colonize the Americas because the Native Americans that were already living there drove them out.

That's not really true. The vikings did settle part of Easter Canada

According to the Vinland Saga, the Vikings made a small settlement and had some encounters with the Native Americans. The Vikings scared them away the first time, but the next time the Native Americans brought goods to trade, but the Vikings could not trade their weapons, due to a agreement. They traded milk goods the first time. The next time they came, one of the Vikings killed on of the Native Americans for trying to take one of their weapons. This caused a miniature battle, and the Vikings left, as they were outnumbered
