INFO: If You Think 2020 is the Worst Year Ever, Historians Say You’re Wrong

We can all pretty much agree that, so far, 2020 has been a dumpster fire of epic proportions, but is it, as some say, the “Worst. Year. Ever.”?

Historians agree the answer is “nope”.

For real misery, check out 536 AD.

Historians say the year began with a dense fog casting Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia into darkness that lasted for two full years.

Because of the fog, global temperatures plummeted, crops failed, and famine swept the land.

This was the beginning of “The Dark Ages”.

Scientists later determined that a massive volcano eruption in Iceland early in the year led to clouds of ash that plunged the earth into cold and darkness.

The eruption was so huge it altered the global climate and adversely affected weather patterns and crop cultivation for years to come.
