Was there an Ice age in the 1100s-1900s?

Answer 1

The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period (Medieval Climate Optimum).

While not a true ice age, the term was introduced into the scientific literature by François E. Matthes in 1939.

It may be conventionally defined as a period extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries,or about 1350 to about 1850 though climatologists and historians working with local records no longer expect to agree on either the start or end dates of this period, which varied according to local conditions.

NASA defines the term as a cold period between 1550 AD and 1850 AD and notes three particularly cold intervals: one beginning about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, each separated by intervals of slight warming.

Answer 2

Yes, there was a cooling period known as the Little Ice Age that occurred roughly between the 14th and 19th centuries. This period was characterized by cooler temperatures and resulted in various climatic effects, including advancing glaciers and more severe winters.
