👉 The Blacks Flu, also known as Spanish Flu, was a global pandemic that peaked in the spring of 1918 and lasted until the fall of 1919, affecting an estimated one-third of the world's population. Characterized by its rapid onset and high mortality rate, particularly among young adults, the disease spread swiftly due to troop movements during World War I. Unlike typical influenza, it often caused severe pneumonia and other complications, leading to a higher death toll from secondary infections. Its fluid nature referred to the rapid and seemingly uncontrolled spread of the virus, making it difficult to contain and understand at the time.
