Many historians and scientists argue that the worst year to
be alive was 536 AD due to a series of devastating events
that plunged much of the world into chaos.

A massive volcanic eruption, or possibly a series of eruptions,
shrouded the Northern Hemisphere in a veil of ash and dust.
This blocked sunlight for an estimated 18 months, causing a
dramatic drop in global temperatures. This phenomenon is
known as the volcanic winter of 536.

. . .

  The weakened populations then succumbed to various
  plagues and infections.

  Big volcanoes, likely well out in the Pacific,
  horribly polluted the air and cut off the sun
  for at least 18 months. Barely anything would
  grow and mass-starvation set in. No giant cargo
  ships full of flour back then ...

  Note this is right about the timeframe where the
  Roman Empire finally imploded. There were many
  other factors there (no, they didn't die of orgies),
  but mass-starvation across much of the occupied lands
  sure as hell would have been a major contributor.

  Hmmmm ... by looking for the ash layer, they OUGHT
  to be able to pin-down exactly which volcano
  were involved. If they did it once, well, something
  to keep an eye on !

  Oh, new eruptions, there'd be NO fix for it, all
  the crops would die AGAIN. We can't beat Nature
  at THAT kind of scale.

Subjectively speaking, perhaps the people who lived through the
Holodomor in Ukraine or in the Gulags of the USSR, or the Great
Depression in the U.S. Dust Bowl or the death camps in Poland or the
Killing Fields in Cambodia under Pol Pot would argue that the time they
lived in sucked as bad as 535 AD. That said, 535 AD was a very bad year.
