Crete was nearly destroyed during the Minoan Civilization by a catastrophic volcanic eruption on the nearby island of Santorini (Thera) around 1600 BCE. This eruption caused massive tsunamis and widespread devastation, significantly impacting the Minoan society. Additionally, the subsequent decline of the Minoan civilization may have been exacerbated by invasions from Mycenaean Greeks, further threatening Crete's stability.
