The last major eruption of Mount Vesuvius was in 1944, during the Second World War when the Allies were advancing North through Italy. British and American army engineers played a major role in evacuating local people from the area around the mountain, and also in treating the injured and making damaged buildings safe. Since then, Vesuvius has had several very minor 'rumbles', though no real reuptions to speak of.
