As crops failed due to the rising temperatures leaders waged war for power which lit the fuse of their eventual demise around 900 AD, the study says. And the coming of the Little Ice Age caused crop failures that supposedly was a significant cause of the 100 Years War. Crop failures and famine cause war, no matter why they occur.

Price of bread skyrocketed, a staple of the French commoner's diet.
Irish potato famine occurred in similar fashion. Doesn't anyone study history anymore? smdh
