The past several winters have been extremely mild here in Ohio. But just a think a volcano can drastically change the weather patterns. Of course most people back in 1816 wouldn't have known that.
Meanwhile, Virginia has had some of the biggest winters in modern memory these last 12 years (some storms in that span have given us up to 2 FEET of snow).
@@grapeshot yeah that's true for wv too, here lately they have been mild which im thankful for but we get cold, long lasting very late snaps in the spring. Its weird
Man, that's something. Read about this from Wikipedia. Had no idea that Lord Byron was the inspiration of Dracula. Thinking it was Stoker. Heard of Shelley through Arthur. Read about Frankenstein in school. Crazy how the current change in the climate might strike a parallel similar to 1816. Wasn't Jefferson struggling in retirement after the presidency ended? Man, I learned more than ever from Weird History than in school. That's something!
It was Stoker who wrote it, but there is a theory that Stoker had feelings for Lord Byron and Oscar Wilde, but because being gay wasn't publicly accepted, he projected a lot angrily and it's heavily hinted that Dracula is a personification of the dangers of gay love and immigrants- around the time of publishing there was a rise in immigration with Eastern European Jewish communities.
@@irateoverlord.theresa1324 it was a very heavy rain and thunderstorm during this time of storytelling, can't confirm just how cold it was haha, also not everyone knows but Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was her personification of death and loss of life, after losing her first baby, it's definitely a bucket list book!
I am glad there finally is a video about this. It caused quite a famine, both animals and people suffered much. The weather channel talked about this, a number of years ago, and I have googled it.
In the 90s it felt like we (the media) were always talking about when the next volcano would erupt. Now it’s the least of our worries and no one seems to mention it.
Insane fact: the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is said to have contained the explosive energy of 100 trillion tons of TNT, which would be the equivalent of 2 millions Tsar Bombas detonating at once.
It's really interesting to see how Tambora's eruption cause to the worldwide society and not just the nature. As Indonesian myself, I felt guilty for what Tambora had caused. And of course, Krakataoa too. Though it may sounds bad, locals believe that if a mountain in Indonesia blew up, that means the bad things that had happened is really made the "residents" of the mountain area mad. They blew up the mountain so the world could shut up and start again in a good way and as a warning so they don't do anything bad again. But sometimes they just make the mountain let out thick smoke as a small warning such as what happened to Mount Selamet lately.
I keep reading about Yellowstone but they all say it won’t blow for another 100,000 years but how do they know really.That bad boy goes it will destroy North America
@@juanelorriaga2840 They are making an educated guess based on its past eruptions. The trouble is, Yellowstone is nowhere near as consistent as, say, Old Faithful.
The world was already experiencing the mini Ice Age from 1300-1850 when the Tambora eruption happened. Before 1816, villages were already being wiped out by advancing glaciers in Europe. 1816 AD was a climatic punctuation, not a stand alone cold event.
The nearest volcanoes to the UK are in Iceland. I can’t spell or pronounce any of their names, but when they erupt they send plumes of ash across the UK airspace and can cause flights to be cancelled. This happened in 2010 and grounded planes across Europe for weeks.
I remember that. My husband had a stupid boss at the time that couldn’t fly either to or from the UK and my husband said he was yelling at the airline. Because u know they could change that. Idiot
Yay I got here pretty early! I just love these videos they’re so interesting and I already love history as it is! I’m not sure if you made a Jack the Ripper video but if you haven’t I’d love to see one or any historical event from the 1700’s and 1800’s! ☺️

There closest volcano to me is Mount Shasta, here in California. In the opening scene of The Bride Of Frankenstein, a raging storm is blowing outside where the Shelleys and Lord Byron are staying. Looking out the window, Byron comments on the weather, basically saying it's a perfect night for ghost stories.
The Byron fragment that became "The Vampyre" was actually written into the story we now know by John Polidori, who was also in attendance at Lake Geneva.
Do a video about if/when yellow stone erupts! I live in Chicago but go to school in Nebraska so it would be interesting to learn where i stand if it blew up compared to each state i live in. I love ur videos! U always keep me interested in history!! Thank u sm!
@@5_aturn is crazy how people comment/talk without thinking.. the man just said it rained too much which caused crops to fall and he thinks it would be a good thing
Sound waves travel outward from the source, so the fact that the sound of the Tambora eruptions could be heard 8,500 miles away means that either earth is enclosed by an invisible force field that would allow the sound waves to travel almost a third of the way around earth, or the true shape of earth is not a sphere, probably both conditions are true.
Odd to include an image of Caspar David Friedrich's "Two Men by the Sea" (painted in 1817) in the video, then neglect to mention how the Tambora eruption influenced the work of artists such as Friedrich and JMW Turner in the years that followed. There has been at least one study which " surveyed hundreds of sunset paintings created between 1500 and 2000, a period that included more than 50 volcanic eruptions around the world. Based on the colors of the skies depicted in the artwork, the team calculated the amount of aerosols like sulfates and ash in the air. They then compared their estimates to the amount of ash particles present in the atmosphere at the time of the painting using ice core samples and other measurements." Quote from the Discover magazine article "How Mount Tambora and Other Volcanic Eruptions Inspired Artistic Masterpieces".
I find it so interesting that no one realizes the absolute power Super volcanoes (or plain old volcanoes) have over the climate. While man made global warming (or the Climate Change moniker) is disputable there is no disputing that Mount Tambora DID change the Earth's climate! Imagine what would happen today if a similar event occurred? It makes a strong argument you want a warmer planet not a frosty one! Enjoyed the humor in the video too!
NO. This is not an example of climate change!! This is a volcanic eruption and it's aftereffects....that lifted within the following year! If this is climate change, then climate change is no big deal! You're stupid.
With a sudden eruption just a few hours ago in the Canary Islands (not where I live but still a part of my country), this couldn't have had a better timing.
This change in the weather, in Europe, is the source of our white Christmas obsession, because cold winters lead to Charles Dickens writing of snowy Christmas days in his writing, in particularly in A Christmas Carol.
The narrator is the real draw for me. His sense of humor and narration is wonderful. I also admire that they pull no punches in telling all of the history.
No, Byron did NOT write “The Vampyre,” that was written by his doctor, John Polidori, who was also staying with Mary Godwin, Shelley, and Byron. Critics believe that the vampire in Polidori’s story, which was the first vampire story to feature a romantic anti-hero (as Stoker’s Dracula would later on), was based on his patient, Byron himself. Byron did write an amazing poem that was inspired by the ghost story competition and the strange weather that year, called “Darkness,” and I highly recommend checking it out.
I will be the 667th comment, and I apologize for this... but i wanted to say I'm even more thrilled than I previously was at the second Spinal Tap reference thus far. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I had thought John Polidori actually wrote "The Vampyre." According to the British Library, Polidori (Byrons' personal doctor, sometimes referred to as his male nurse) did -- and in fact Byron disclaimed authorship even though his own name had appeared as the author in the first edition.
I don't think it will. From what I found, it had a VEI of 2, and we've already had quite a few 4's this century. The ash plumes sound relatively tame. This eruption just happens to be closer to people than usual.
This is my favorite thus far...i love other historical facts interlaced throughout...would love to see this theme more..natural disasters juxtaposed with historical references. Closest volcano to me? Probably MT. Helen's? I'm in the Midwest.

His cadence is relaxing and his timbre not geographically specific.

Turn it up to eleven
Fun fact : Mount Tambora was originally around 4.3 km tall. After the eruption it's only around 2.7 or 2.8 km tall.
i'm way too immature to be on the internet bro..
Same thing with Mt. Mazama in Oregon aka Crater Lake. Went from about 12k ft to 6k ft.
