The flu epidemic was exacerbated by World War I due to the movement of troops, which facilitated the rapid spread of the virus across different regions and countries. Crowded military camps and poor sanitary conditions contributed to the high transmission rates among soldiers. Additionally, the war strained medical resources and public health measures, making it difficult to effectively respond to the epidemic. The combination of these factors led to a higher mortality rate and widespread illness during the pandemic.
