Summary

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed much of the city due to dry conditions, wooden construction, and strong winds. While the disaster caused massive loss and left thousands homeless, it also led to major changes in urban design. Chicago rebuilt with stronger materials, new safety codes, and innovative architecture, helping shape the development of modern American cities and the rise of skyscrapers.
