No. The largest active volcano in the world, in terms of volume and height, is Mauna Loa in Hawaii. The largest volcanic eruption in recorded history was Santorini, in the Mediterranean Sea, around 1630 BCE. The Taupo eruption in New Zealand in the year 186 CE was larger, but no one lived there, so it cannot be considered to be in "recorded history". The largest eruption for which there is firm geologic evidence is the La Garita Caldera eruption in Colorado, about 28 million years ago.

The world's largest volcanic explosion occurred in 1883 which country when the island of Krakatoa blew itself apart?
False. The island of Krakatoa was indeed destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption in 1883, but it did not plow itself apart, nor was it the largest volcanic eruption. When Krakatoa erupted, it blasted out so much magma, that it left an empty space in the magma chamber. This caused the volcano to collapse in on itself. Such an even is called a caldera forming eruption. The largest eruption of historic times was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. Other, prehistoric eruptions have been much larger.
