📻️⌛️WDR Zeitzeichen: Ein Vulkanausbruch, Schauergeschichten und – das Fahrrad🌋️👻️🚲️

Zehntausende Menschen reißt der Ausbruch des Vulkans Tambora Anfang April 1815 in den Tod. Das folgende Jahr geht nicht nur als „Jahr ohne Sommer“ in die Geschichte ein.

Die Folgen des Vulkanausbruchs 1815 treffen die Welt ungleich: Während Nordamerika, Europa und Russland sich nach den Hungersnöten stabilisieren und langfristig sogar wirtschaftlich und politisch gestärkt aus der Krise hervorgehen, leiden Indien und China noch jahrzehntelang unter den Folgen der Ernteausfälle, Hungersnöte und sozialen Unruhen.

Today in Labor History March 29, 1797: William Godwin married Mary Wollstonecraft. Godwin was an English journalist, philosopher and novelist. And one of the first modern proponents of anarchism. His most famous books are “An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice” and “Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams,” a mystery novel that attacks aristocratic privilege. Wollstonecraft was a British writer, philosopher, and advocate of women's rights, and is regarded by many as one of the founding feminist philosophers. Her most famous book was “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” (1792). She died 11 days after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein.
