Tsunami is a old Japanese word meaning Harbor Wave.They are a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water,usually an ocean.Japan has many tsunamis of all.
People died in 14 countries, with most deaths in South Asia but a few along the eastern coast of Africa (Somalia in particular). Many more countries were affected in terms of infrastructure damage though.
The countries most affected by the 2011 tsunami in Japan were Japan itself, with significant damage and casualties along its northeastern coast, including Fukushima, and countries situated across the Pacific Ocean, such as the United States, Chile, and Australia, which experienced smaller waves and coastal impacts.
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.

Japan
Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Myanmar, the Maldives, Bangladesh, Madagascar, and the coastal regions of Africa were the areas most affected by the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami (December 26, 2004). As many as 15 to 20 of the countries bordering the Indian Ocean (and some even farther) saw some effect from the disaster. In Africa, there were multiple fatalities in Somalia and Tanzania.;kubgou'ob'oub'ol
Not really. Japan is one of the most tsunami prone countries in the world.
Some Asian countries affected by the Cold War include Korea, Vietnam, China, and Afghanistan. These countries were either directly involved in conflicts between the United States and the Soviet Union or experienced significant political and social upheaval as a result of Cold War policies and interventions.
