the returning soldiers that caused the disease to spread, the soldiers
carried it. The symptoms of Spanish flu it is really contagious. People
would be fatigue and have fever and headaches. Victims would start
turning blue. People were not quite sure what instrumental in

China, while other people traced it back to Kansas. The place people
found out that it was coming from was Spain. So that mean people did
not really found out what started the Spanish flu. The part of the U.S that
was affected by the Spanish Flu which was mainly in Europe. The
countries that were affected by this were first Spain then India, China,
Russia, and Africa. The source and cause of the Spanish flu is that no one
