The most recent large earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or larger was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan in 2011 (as of March 2011), and it was the largest earthquake since records began.

No, it wasn't. The largest earthquake ever recorded was the Chilean earthquake on May 20th, 1960. It measured 9.5 magnitude on the Richter's scale.
