Absolutely. Our infrastructure is built to only withstand a bit of occasional stress, not something like the enduring catastrophe a big volcanic eruption would bring.
That 536AD event followed the general collapse of the Roman Empire; I'd bet there was already a fair amount of chaos in what we today call Europe with tribes clashing over turf and migration routes. No wonder it took hundreds of years for the situation to get sorted. Even so, some things have remained elusive. It was not until a few years ago that the Roman "recipe" for concrete was rediscovered (it is a mixture that lasts a LONG time).
Cheers
