History says that when Sumbawa’s Mount Tambora erupted in April 1815, its ash clouds spread all the way to European skies. In the following months, when it should have been summer, Europe instead experienced a long volcanic winter.

The European people did not know what had happened to change the climate, which was caused by sulphate aerosols from the Tambora eruption, suspended in the atmosphere and preventing the sun’s rays from penetrating to the surface of the earth. Many horses died because of a lack of hay, their main feed, because the grasses couldn’t grow without sunlight. These horses were used to pull carts, the major mode of transportation in Europe at the time.
