Contrary to its name, there is no evidence that the disease originated in Spain; the name arose from the fact that news concerning the epidemic was published without censorship in Spain, which did not participate in the war. The pandemic affected a large portion of the world's population and, according to estimates, caused the deaths of tens of millions of people. The epidemic is regarded as one of the deadliest pandemics in history.
