What Was Lisbon Like During the Great Earthquake (1755)

In today's video about the LISBON EARTHQUAKE of 1755, we explore what life was like in PORTUGAL'S capital when one of history's deadliest disasters struck on ALL SAINTS' DAY. We cover how the MARQUIS OF POMBAL led the emergency response with his now-famous command to bury the dead and feed the living, how the TAGUS RIVER tsunami swallowed thousands who had run toward the water, and how the destruction of the ROYAL RIBEIRA PALACE erased seventy thousand books and priceless paintings by TITIAN and RUBENS overnight. We look at how VOLTAIRE responded with his savage attack on LEIBNIZ's optimism, how JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU fired back, and how that debate gave birth to CANDIDE. We examine how MANUEL DA MAIA's rebuilding plan created the POMBALINE BAIXA, introduced the earthquake-resistant GAIOLA construction method, and made Lisbon one of the first cities ever rebuilt using SEISMIC ENGINEERING principles. And we trace how IMMANUEL KANT used the disaster to help launch the science of SEISMOLOGY. One morning in 1755 changed a city, a philosophy, and a civilization. #LisbonEarthquake1755 #HistoryDocumentary #GreatLisbonEarthquake #MarquisOfPombal #EarthquakeHistory
