In the winter of 479 B.C., a tsunami was the savior of Potidaea, drowning hundreds of Persian invaders as they lay siege to the ancient Greek village.

That's amazing to think about, Civ. Imagine being on either side of that war, when the tsunami came in.

They didn’t have to do much to finish the Persians, but it still counts as a victory. :’)
