People blamed Germans for the Spanish flu largely due to the political context of World War I. As the war intensified anti-German sentiment, many associated the virus with Germany, perceiving it as an enemy-induced threat. The term "Spanish flu" itself arose because Spain, being neutral, reported the outbreak more freely, leading to the false impression that it originated there. This scapegoating reflected broader societal tensions and fears during a tumultuous time.
