The 1783 Laki volcano eruption in Iceland released toxic gases and ash for 8 months, causing widespread crop failures across Europe, particularly in France, which led to severe food shortages, skyrocketing bread prices, and ultimately contributed to the French Revolution of 1789 that ended the French monarchy.

This Volcano Ended the French Monarchy ForeverHinzugefügt:
Did you know a volcano in Iceland literally ended the French monarchy? In 1783, the Laki volcano erupted in Iceland. This wasn't just any eruption.
It spewed poison gas and ash for 8 months straight. The toxic cloud drifted across Europe, blocking sunlight and ruining crops. France got hit the hardest. Harvest failed year after year.
Bread prices skyrocketed. People were starving. [music] By 1789, the French were so desperate and angry about food shortages that they stormed the Bastille and started a revolution. One volcano, one island, it toppled kings and changed Europe forever.
