The Jan 12, 2010 7.0 magnitude Earthquake in Haiti was the deadliest with the most fatalities in last 20 years.

Take a look at the USGS Seismicity Maps for worldwide earthquake activity. A large full-scale detailed map is also available.

USGS keeps lists of earthquakes by country, region, and year (1990 - present).

Why weren't there any tsunamis in the Christchurch earthquakes?

The Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 did not generate tsunamis because they were caused by strike-slip faults, which do not displace water vertically to create a tsunami. Tsunamis are typically generated by earthquakes associated with subduction zones or vertical displacements of the seafloor.
