In 1918, the world was in trouble. the first world war has been raging since 1914. between
9 and 11 million soldiers were killed in the conflict and millions were captured. But compared
with the flu pandemic, these numbers pale in comparison. Approximately 5% of the world's
population died as a result. This is the most serious epidemic since the plague in the Middle
Ages.

The Spanish flu has hit some regions such as the pacific Islands, iran, and India much more
severely than others. Men, women, and children wear surgical masks on the street to avoid
infection, also houses are closed. Fear threatens over every school, factory, and family.

For some reasons, the flu is called the Spanish flu. It infected king Alfonso xiii of Spain.
Another is that Spain was a neutral country in the First World War. The wartime censorship
system did not take effect, and developments there, including the spread of influensa, can
be disclosed more freely than in war-torn places.

Common flu is painful and debilitating, but it is not fatal. The Spanish flu caused a high
fever and led to hallucinations. People cough violently and endure unbearable pain. They
turn black. They blood from their mouths and noses, they also blood from their ears, and
they rarely even bliood from their eyes. When a flu patient turns over in bed, the lungs
become so weak that they crackle. A person may be perfectly healthy in the morning and
die that night.

The epidemic was not understood at the time. Its origin is unclear, and so is the reason
why it is so difficult to treat and so deadly. Some people believe that the flu originated in
the U.S. Army. Some people say that it originated abroad. But no matter where it comes
from, it spreads like wildfire. Considering that soldiers from the united States, Asia, and
europe all have different inmune systems, fighting side by side in Europe will only make
things worse.

They are weakened by the pressure of living under firepower, and some have lung damage
due to the poisonous gas thrown by enemy forces at each other. And, of course, the ships
and trains that transported men and women across countries and around the world in record
numbers also carried the microorganisms that spread this deadly disease.
