Question

What time of the year do you think starvation was most likely to happen

Answer 1

The Starving Time was a period of starvation during the winter of 1609–1610 in which all but 60 of 214 colonists died.

Answer 2

Winter

Step-by-step explanation:

Starvation was most likely to occur in winter. This is true for several reasons. The main one is the fact that farming is difficult, or even impossible, during winter. Therefore, if not enough food is produced during the summer and fall, there might not be enough supplies to last through winter. Moreover, hunting-gathering becomes more complicated as many plants die and animals hide during most of the winter. Finally, people are more likely to be sick, and thus weak, during the cold months.
