Recently I learned of this event: An Indonesian volcano erupted, killing many people (I forgot the number of people, to be honest) and the ashes of it caused the Northern Hemisphere an agonizingly cold Summer a year later. One obvious result was that crops didn't grow, famine leads to starvation and starvation leads to death. So a volcanic eruption caused a chain-reaction of strife.

If this event did not happen, what would occur?

  • Would overpopulation be an issue?
  • Any technological advancements? How about hindrances?
  • Heck! Would any wars even be affected by this?
I can't really think of anything else, right now. And I'm wondering what the ATL would look like.
Any ideas?
