RE: Disaster in the Netherlands. More than 1800 people died as a result of the flood
Glad we have huge dykes and the Deltawerken these days! To protect us from the water. Do we know what caused the sudden rise of the water back then? I assume climate change wasn't an issue back then as it is today.
The cause was a really hard storm from the west and spring tide and of course, they hadn't done enough to strengthen the dikes.
