The 1918 influenza outbreak, often referred to as the Spanish Flu, was particularly deadly due to several factors, including the high virulence of the H1N1 virus, lack of effective vaccines or antiviral treatments, and the movement of troops during World War I which facilitated rapid spread. Additionally, it disproportionately affected young, healthy adults, causing severe pneumonia and other complications. Public health responses were hampered by limited medical knowledge and resources at the time.
