Which of the following periods has generally been considered to be the ‘Little Ice Age’?

Question

Accepted Answer

1650 A.D. - 1870 A.D.. The Little Ice Age was a period of cooling that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period. The term was introduced into scientific literature by Francois E. Matthes in 1939. It has been conventionally defined as a period extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries, but some experts prefer an alternative timespan from about 1350 A.D to about 1850 A.D. while NASA considered the ‘Little Ice Age’ about 1550 A.D. to 1850 A.D. So the nearest answer could be 1650 A.D. to 1870 A.D.
