The two most destructive volcanoes in the past 200 years are located in Indonesia. Mt. Tambora, Indonesia killed 92,000 in April 1815. Krakatoa, Indonesia killed 36,417 in August 1883. Mt. Pelee, Martinique killed 29,025 in August 1902. Nevada del Ruiz, Colombia killed 23,000 in November 1985. Mt. Unzen, Japan killed 14,300 in 1792.
Another potential candidate for most destructive is a volcanic eruption related to a mantle plume hot spot dated from 60 and 68 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period in present day India. The present day formation is the Deccan Plateau. Scientists have observed that the very large amounts of gasses released contributed to global cooling by an average of two degrees. This is thought to have been responsible for a mass extinction event and also ultimately to have contributed in part to the mass extinction of the non avian dinosaurs at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (the primary mechanism however is thought to have been the Chicxulub impact event).

What was the most destructive volcano eruption ever recorded?
The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815 is considered one of the most destructive volcanic eruptions ever recorded. It caused global climate cooling and led to the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, resulting in crop failures and famine across the Northern Hemisphere. The eruption had widespread environmental and societal impacts.
