What was the Little Ice Age? What caused the famines? What will be an ideal response?
The Little Ice Age was a cooling trend that began about A.D. 1300 and lasted from 1500 to the mid- or
late-1800s. During this time, glaciers expanded, summers were cooler and wetter, winters were colder,
and sea ice persisted for long periods in Greenland, Iceland, and the Canadian Arctic Islands. Famines
were caused by cooler, wetter summers, which led to short growing seasons and several widespread
famines.
