It happened world-wide. It was a true pandemic and was mainly spread by WW1 soldiers as they moved to and from the battle fronts around the world. It is believed to have originated in the US, although that is not proven. It is known as the Spanish flu but not because it began in Spain; it was because the newspapers from Spain were where it was first reported. During WW1, many of the usual news sources in the western world were not operational and much of the world news came from Spanish news services.
