1816 was the 'year without a summer'. The eruption of mount Tambora released large amounts of Sulfur Dioxide into the atmosphere, which reflected sunlight away from the earth, causing global cooling. There were very few crops that year because there were frosts and snows in June. Many people died of starvation
