The rapid rise of the sea flooded much of the Netherlands

72
years ago

31 January 1953,

The rapid rise of the sea flooded much of the Netherlands. An unexpected tide surpassed the protection dykes of the sea country and there was a heavy flood. 1,835 people died and the material damage was enormous. It was then that the Delta Plan was launched to protect the country from the sea. He also captured the UK and Belgium for another 332 deaths in these countries.
