β 14y agoHistory only gets you back so far, but let's see. The biggest eruption since the rise of science, let's say 1800, would be Tambora in 1815. The biggest one we have direct written records of would be Santorini, around 1630 BCE. However, the Taupo eruption of New Zealand in the year 186 was larger-only no one lived there at the time.
But the really huge ones were long before those. The largest since the rise of modern humans, Homo sapiens, is the great eruption of Toba, in Sumatra, about 71,000 years ago. It produced some 2800 cubic kilometers of ash and may have reduced the world's human population to only 10,000 people.
