On the morning of November 1, 1755, a Tuesday that coincided with All Saints' Day, Lisbon was struck by one of the most destructive earthquakes in recorded history. The tremor, estimated at magnitude 8.5 to 9.0, leveled much of the city, triggered massive tsunamis, and ignited fires that burned for days. This episode explores the immediate aftermath and the political earthquake that followed as Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, later known as the Marquis of Pombal, took charge of the relief effort. We examine how Pombal used this catastrophe to consolidate power, modernize Portugal's administration, and rebuild Lisbon into a model of Enlightenment urban planning. Through the lens of this disaster, we look at the shift from monarchical absolutism to bureaucratic efficiency, the role of the Jesuits in the tragedy, and the scientific inquiry that began to take root in Europe's response to natural disasters. Discover how a small nation on the edge of Europe reinvented itself when the ground beneath it gave way. #LisbonEarthquake #1755Disaster #Pombal #MarquisOfPombal #SebastiaoDeCarvalho #PortugueseHistory #EnlightenmentEra #UrbanPlanning #Tsunami #AllSaintsDay #JesuitExpulsion #GeologyHistory #EuropeanHistory #AgeOfDiscovery #LisbonRebuilding #PombalineStyle #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
