No volcanic eruption in human history has darkened the entire world. But about 535 AD a volcano at Krakatoa erupted so violently it may have darkened the sky around the world to an extent that it caused famines and threw Europe into the Dark Ages (they are not called the Dark Ages because the sky was dark, rather it was considered to be a period of intellectual darkness).

How can a volcanic eruption affect the sun?
A volcanic eruption here on Earth can not affect the Sun. However, a volcanic eruption here on Earth can put particles of ash and some volcanic gases into the atmosphere that affects the transparency of Earth's atmosphere to sunlight. With the ash content the skies near the volcano go dark during the day and with the gases (especially sulfur oxides) the amount of cloud cover increases causing sunlight to be reflected and the air to cool.
