Но главной причиной роста миграции в Бессарабию стала климатическая катастрофа, обрушившаяся в это время на большую часть Европы.

Результаты «года без лета» были катастрофическими для экономики большинства стран Европы и США (там этот год прозвали eighteen hundred froze to death – тысяча восемьсот замерзший насмерть). И это вместе с предложенным набором привилегий привело к огромной волне миграции немецких колонистов. К «вюртенбергской» волне по схожим причинам присоединилась волна «баденская» - немецких колонистов из соседнего Великого герцогства Баден.
