Can you explain what caused ice ages? 10K rises and falls in few years?

Glaciation is most strongly dependent on Milankovich cycles:

Plate tectonics and volcanic activity have also influenced climate in the past, e.g. the closing of the Panamanian isthmus, or the formation of the Deccan Traps.

Interestingly, the original paper proposing AGW (in 1896) was actually intended to explain Ice Ages:
