Tambora! (of Frankenstein, Opium, and The Year without Summer)
Mount Tambora, Located in Sumbawa island in the what is now Indonesia blew itself up with an apocalyptic force in April of 1815. Barely reported, no one linked that this eruption would leave a cascading worldwide weather disaster, gave birth to the Opium Trade, changing art and creating the genre of gothic fiction in the three years that followed.
For Three Years following the explosion. To be alive in any corner of the world meant you were starving. In New England, 1816 was nicknamed “The Year without Summer” or “Eighteen Hundred and Froze to death”. Germans called 1817 “the year of the beggar”.
Correction: I mistakenly quoted an article from the Conversation (Largest volcanic eruption in human history changed the 19th century as much as Napoleon) and credited it to Slate.
