Well, there were alot of cities world wide that experienced strong and large earthquakes in both those years (as there are every year), but, in terms of loss of life and damage (and most likely the most well known events), it would have to go to San Francisco and Oakland, CA. The 1906 earthquake was a 7.9- 8.0 earthquake while the 1989 event (Loma Prieta Earthquake) was a 7.1 magnitude.

Why the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was important?
It led to geological studies that have proven that the Andreas fault line is certain to cause periodic earthquakes such as the one in San Francisco in 1989. What it did was cause architects and engineers to build buildings that can withstand certain levels of earthquakes. Earth movements in California are common. No major earthquakes have happened in the last few decades. However, as in 1906, the earth has demonstrated that havoc can happen at any time in the future.
