Wartime conditions are attributed partly as the reasons for the spread of the Spanish Flu in 1918 during WW1, causing it to be a pandemic that killed millions world wide. Soldiers were moving from home front to battle field and then home again taking the influenza virus with them around the globe during the war. It is believed to have started in the US and then spread. The conditions of men in foxholes, closely packed in transport and in barracks helped the virus spread due to their close proximities. The physical and mental stress of war, poor nutrition, lack of sleep and bacterial infections from wounds can contribute to cause the immune systems of the troops to be overwhelmed and at less than peak functioning.
