The "Starving Time" refers to the winter of 1609-1610 in the Jamestown colony, one of the first permanent English settlements in North America. During this period, a combination of poor leadership, inadequate supplies, and hostile relations with Indigenous peoples led to severe food shortages. The colonists faced extreme hunger, and many resorted to desperate measures, including cannibalism. Out of about 500 settlers, only around 60 survived by the spring of 1610.
