Volcanic Eruptions as a Catalyst for the 14th‑Century Black Death — E8 Intelligence Research

Discovered via YouTube Monitor: "How Volcanoes Caused The Black Death" (SciShow) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Chxr0xbFA The video presents evidence linking the 1257 Samalas volcanic eruption to climate cooling, famines, and weakened populations that may have amplified the spread of Yersinia pestis in the mid‑14th century. This chain of environmental and epidemiological factors is not documented in the existing E8 archive, representing a novel interdisciplinary perspective.
