The "Starving Time" refers to the winter of 1609-1610 in the Jamestown colony, one of the first permanent English settlements in North America. During this period, a combination of poor leadership, inadequate supplies, and hostile relations with Indigenous peoples led to severe food shortages. The colonists faced extreme hunger, and many resorted to desperate measures, including cannibalism. Out of about 500 settlers, only around 60 survived by the spring of 1610.

When was the end of European exploration?

The end of European exploration is generally considered to have occurred in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, as most of the world's landmasses had been mapped and claimed by European powers. By this time, the focus shifted from exploration to colonization, exploitation, and the consolidation of empires. Notable events, such as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, formalized the division of Africa among European powers, further marking the decline of the era of exploration.
