Jamestown nearly collapsed due to a combination of factors, including a lack of food, poor leadership, and conflicts with Indigenous peoples. The settlers were unprepared for the harsh conditions and failed to establish sustainable agriculture. Additionally, leadership struggles, particularly under Captain John Smith's departure, led to disorganization and further hardship. These challenges culminated in a severe famine known as the "Starving Time" during the winter of 1609-1610, threatening the colony's survival.
