The Spanish flu epidemic of 1914 started some time in January and is estimated to have infected a third of the human race and killed between 20-50 million people.
Among the casulities was Wilhelm Kaiser who died during the early part of the plague.
Some historians claim that the flu prevented a war of global proportions, and that if it didn't happen Europe would have eurupted into war.
