The Spanish inlfuenza was an especially virulent virus that spread across the world in 1918, killing many millions of people. It was likely carried around the globe by soldiers returning from World War I (1914-1918). Both soldiers and civilians may have been made more susceptible by malnutrition -- there were famines in many of the countries where the war was waged. As many as 500 million people became infected, and between 50 and 100 million died.
The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than WW1. The pandemic killed between 20 and 40 million people. More people died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351.
The 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic did not bring about the end of WWI, but was likely spread more widely because of it. See Related Links.
Influenza epidemics are considered density dependent, as the spread of the virus is influenced by the population density and interactions among individuals. Higher population density can lead to increased transmission of the virus, making epidemics more likely to occur.
The US flu epidemic occurred in the WWI time period (1918). Military personnel began dying overseas; those that made it home infected their loved ones and others they came in contact with. It supposedly ended in California because it had run out of victims and ground to cover. It was fatal, primarily in the very young and the very old; those of more middle age became extremely ill for a period of time but recovered. 500,000 Americans died from the virus during the epidemic. ****A disease that strikes many people
