period of cooling that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period, usually defined as between the 14th (or the 16th) to the 19th centuries
The Little Ice Age was a period of cooler temperatures that lasted from around the 14th or 16th century until the 19th century, following a warmer period in medieval times. This climate shift had significant effects on agriculture, food supplies, and human societies across the world during those centuries.

Comparison of 11 different reconstructions of temperatures during the last 2000 years, biased towards the northern hemisphere. (More recent reconstructions are plotted in front and in redder colors, older reconstructions in the back and in bluer colors.) Temperature measurements from 1850 to 2004 are shown in black. Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age are labeled, though it is under dispute whether these should be considered global or merely regional events.
Global average temperatures show that the Late Antique Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period were not distinct planet-wide periods. The Little Ice Age can also be considered a regional phenomenon occurring near the end of a long temperature decline that preceded recent global warming.
