The Spanish Flu, as the virus is now known, made its way around the world mindless of human politics, borders and morality, infecting soldiers and civilians, rich and poor alike. Its spread was so wide-reaching that the only continent it left untouched was Antarctica.
By the time the virus had run its course, approximately 500 million people, roughly one third of the world’s population, had fallen ill.
Conservative estimates place the death toll at 20 million people, but it is now widely accepted that the much more likely figure lies somewhere between 50 - 100 million.
