The 1918 influenza pandemic killed between 50 and 100 million people worldwide. It was the deadliest pandemic in recorded history. The pandemic began in the spring of 1918 and lasted until the end of 1919. It was caused by a new strain of influenza virus that had never been seen before. The virus was so deadly that it killed more people than the combined death tolls of World War I and World War II.
