The 1918 Influenza Pandemic

It was World War 1 and Germany had just sent a massive amount of troops to Britain and France in a surprise attack. They were overwhelmed with the attack, and desperatly asked American troops for backup. America did come help them with plenty of weapons, but they had actually brought one weapon thay didn't even know they had. The Spanish flu. This disease would eventually spread across Europe and America, killing more people than the war itslelf. It went like this. Troops became infected with the Spanish flu while fighting in the war. Then they returned home, and infected everyone there. Over forty million people were killed.
