In modern history, up until the recent COVID pandemic, there was no pandemic more devastating than the flu of 1918, sometimes called the Spanish Flu, or swine flu. It killed about 675,000 in the United States alone. The outbreak came in the midst of World War I, and the flu would actually kill more troops than combat. The flu of 1918 was so deadly, it killed more Americans than World War I. World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
