1815 Eruption of Mount Tambora - The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered
Quote
In 1815, the volcano Mount Tambora on the island of Sumbawa in the Dutch East Indies erupted in the most explosive volcanic eruption in human history.  The explosion affected the world's climate, changing history in surprising ways.  The History Guy recalls the forgotten history of the year without a summer.

The 2nd half of the video goes into the various historical events that happened in the aftermath of the eruption.  A pretty interesting video if you have the time.

I really like what The History Guy produces.  He's put out some neat stuff.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

And it would be if only there wasn't so damn much of it.
