Tudo Parecia Normal em 1816… Até o Verão Desaparecer

In 1816, it snowed in the middle of summer. Crops died, cities went hungry, and no one could explain what was happening. The answer lay almost 17,000 kilometers away: the eruption of Mount Tambora, the largest recorded in modern history. In this episode of World in Fragments, we return to the moment when the world still believed that peace had finally arrived after the Napoleonic Wars. While governments promised stability, a mountain in present-day Indonesia had already set in motion a sequence of events that would change the planet's climate, cause famine throughout Europe, inspire the birth of Frankenstein, and even influence the founding of Nova Friburgo, Brazil. More than the story of an eruption, this is the account of how a single natural phenomenon was able to alter the destiny of empires, economies, migrations, and millions of lives—without firing a single shot. Because history rarely changes all at once. It begins to change when no one notices. In this episode you will discover: • How Tambora caused the famous "Year Without a Summer"; • Why did snow fall in June in North America? • How famine transformed Europe between 1816 and 1817; • The relationship between Tambora and the emergence of Frankenstein; • How this tragedy contributed to the Swiss immigration that gave rise to Nova Friburgo; • Why a remote volcano managed to change the course of world history.
