∙ 14y agoFirst of all, The flu is not called the spanish flu, it was from Swine ( type of pig) flu or H1N1 influenza. When the flu adapted itself, so it spreads from person to person and animal to person. People from Mexico can go to the US then it spreads like crazy. Hope this helps =]

∙ 12y agoIt began in Mexico and then spread northward to the US and on to Canada through infected people who traveled between countries.
There is some speculation that it actually started at a pig farm in the US and moved first into Mexico and then back to the US and beyond, becoming a true pandemic. However, that has not been definitively proven by epidemiologists yet.

See the related question below about how H1N1/09 is spread for more details on transmission of the flu virus from person to person.
