The
Spanish flu (also known as the
1918 flu pandemic) was an unusually deadly
influenza pandemic. Lasting from
January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people – about a quarter of the world's population at the time. The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the
deadliest pandemics in human history.
To maintain morale,
World War I censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.Newspapers were
free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral
Spain, such as the grave illness of
King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the name Spanish flu.
