Do you want to uncover the history of the spanish flu? Are you interested in learning how it originated and spread across the globe, and the destruction it left in its wake? Then this book is for you.
The spanish flu is an infamous virus which surged across 1918 europe, leaving a devastating pile of bodies in its wake. It crippled an already war-damaged europe, claimed millions of lives, and had a profound impact on the 20th century at large.
In this book, you will learn:
The spanish flu was the worst pandemic the world has ever seen next to the bubonic plague of 1346. About 500 million people were infected by it and between 25 - 50 million lost their lives. It occurred toward the end of the 1st world war which lasted between 1918 -1920.
This book revisits the spanish flu in a unique way, starting with a brief scientific explanation of the virus and then going deeper to explore its historical context.
