Mount Vesuvius last erupted in March 1944. The eruption was caused by gas-rich magma moving up from the magma chanber beneath the volcano and emerging explosively. More definitive causes are not know for two reasons. First, we did not know as much about volcanoes back then. Second, the people in the area at the time were more preoccupied with fighting World War II than with what was going on beneath a volcano.
