The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Amstel
Final Jeopardy Explanation
The European capital that got its name as a consequence of flooding on a river is Amsterdam. The name “Amsterdam” is derived from the Dutch word “Amstelredamme,” which means “a dam on the Amstel River.” The city was built around a dam constructed on the Amstel River in the 12th century to protect against flooding, and over time, it grew into the vibrant capital of the Netherlands. Amsterdam’s unique history and its close relationship with water have shaped its identity and urban development.
