1923年日本关东大地震

The Great Kantō earthquake of 1923 devastated Tokyo and Yokohama with magnitude 7.9, killing 105,385 people and injuring more than 52,000. Around 695,000 dwellings were lost—many to the firestorms that swept the wooden cities after the shaking—and damage reached about 600 million dollars of the era. The rupture occurred within the Pacific Ring of Fire, where subducting oceanic plates converge beneath the Japanese archipelago. The disaster reshaped the physical and political landscape of interwar Japan and drove the development of the earthquake-resistant engineering and urban planning for which the country later became known.
