The Year without a Summer (1816) was caused by a volcano in the Dutch East Indies, Mount Tambora. One estimate is that 300,000 people in Ireland died of starvation as a result. I had ancestors in Ireland at the time but don’t know if any died of starvation, but I had three ancestors elsewhere in Europe who died of starvation in 1817.
