The Medieval Warm Period was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic Region and other regions around the world from about 950 to 1250 AD. During this period, colonization took over and people started spreading into the greenland parts of North America. These people began to produce larges amounts of farm land and livestock. The farming outbreak spread throughout the country during this warmer period. The Medieval Warm Period was followed by a cooler period called the Little Ice Age. The little ice age occurred 1550 and 1850 AD. This caused many parts of the environments to die. The farming and livestock were greatly impacted and caused them both to slow down tremendously.
