Other notable outbreaks include the Ebola virus in West Africa and the Zika virus outbreak. Overall, the exact number of epidemics can vary depending on definitions and criteria used, but there have been numerous impactful events during this period.
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.
As if World War I - back then, just called "the Great War" - wasn't enough, an influenza epidemic killed a substantial number of the people who became infected.

The 1918 flu pandemic (the Spanish Flu) was an influenza pandemic that spread widely across the world. The pandemic lasted from March 1918 to June 1920. The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War 1 at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. It has been cited as the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history. More people died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. Known as "Spanish Flu" or "La Grippe" the influenza of 1918-1919 was a global disaster.
The influenza outbreak of 1918-1919 is called a pandemic because it spread rapidly across multiple countries and continents, affecting a large portion of the global population. A pandemic is characterized by its widespread geographic reach and the ability to infect people regardless of age or health status. The 1918 flu pandemic resulted in an estimated 50 million deaths worldwide, highlighting its severity and impact on public health, similar to other historical pandemics.
