In 2004, an earthquake in the Indian ocean created a series of tsunamis which devastated a total of fourteen coastal countries. This tsunami has been called the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, South Asian tsunami, Indonesian tsunami, and the Boxing Day tsunami. As a result of these tsunamis an estimated 230,000 people died. Billions of dollars in damage was caused to these areas economically and environmentally, an impact which is still felt to this day.
India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar (Burma), Somalia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand were countries majorly affected by the disaster, suffering damage and casualties.
Bangladesh, Kenya, Seychelles, South Affrica, Tanzania, and Yemen suffered more minor damage and casualties.
Other countries suffered physical damage from the after effects of the tsunamis but no casualties, and some other lost citizens who were in the affected countries at the time of the disaster.
