In the fall of 1918, shortly after the United States joined the First World War, Spanish influenza began to spread around the world. This epidemic proved not only more deadly than ordinary influenza, but killed more people in a single year than died in combat during World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam combined. Twenty-five percent of the American population contracted the disease; killing half a million Americans.
