There have been many influenza epidemics. There are now two well-known pandemics (covers a much larger world-wide area than an epidemic or a smaller outbreak). The "Spanish Flu" pandemic was in 1918 and 50-70 million people died of the virus. The most recent pandemic was the H1N1/09 "Swine Flu" pandemic beginning in 2009 with some isolated cases still ongoing in 2012.

influenza is the flu and is a virus. viruses mutate fast and well influenza mutates so fast that it is very hard to trace its origin. this is why we get a vaccine every year. H1N1 originated not in Mexico's but in a swine farm in Montana. wasn't the USA quiet when they admitted that.
