Tens of thousands were killed either by the resulting tidal wave or by pyroclastic flows that crossed 40km of ocean to incinerate Sumatra coastal villages. Afterwards all that was left was a smoldering caldera where a cluster of uninhabited island had once been, perhaps peace had come, thought local village. But Krakatau. Like all scrappy villains, re-awoke in 1927 and resulting eruptions built a new volcanic cone since christened Anak Krakatau.
