How can I count the number of times a specific year appears given an x amount of dates

I want to count the number of times a specific year appears in the coloumn "Date". (see csv file attachment)

Each date in the format mm/dd/YYYY represents an earthquake for a specific year. So if I want to know how many earthquakes occured in the year 1965, I think I should receive a total count of 339 earthquaks for the year 1965.

Can you please make the code as simple as posbile, I'm new to coding.

[dpb]

tEQ=readtable('database.csv');
uYr=unique(year(tEQ.Date));
nEq=histc(year(tEQ.Date),uYr);
tNEQ=table(uYr,nEq,'VariableNames',{'Year','Number EQ'});

results in

>> head(tNEQ)
ans =
  8×2 table
    Year    Number EQ

    1965       339
