It is thought to have originated in Kansas, and spread to soldiers fighting in World War I. The flu was so deadly that it is estimated that it killed more people in a year than the Black Death did in a century.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Reason_Behind_the_Name_Spanish_Flu\"><\/span>What is the Reason Behind the Name Spanish Flu?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-1920 was so named because it was first identified in Spain.

It is estimated that it killed up to 75 million people, or up to one-third of the population. The plague was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which is spread through the bite of an infected flea. Symptoms include fever, headache, and swollen lymph nodes. The plague can be fatal within days, and there is no cure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smallpox_c_10000_BC\"><\/span>Smallpox c 10000 BC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Smallpox is a viral disease that causes a blister-like rash, fever, and muscle pain. The disease is caused by the variola virus, which is a member of the orthopoxvirus family. Smallpox is believed to have originated in Africa and was spread to other parts of the world through trade and travel. The disease is highly contagious and can be spread through coughing and sneezing. The virus can also be spread through contact with the skin lesions of an infected person. Smallpox is a serious disease and can lead to death in up to 30% of cases. The disease was eradicated in the late 20th century after a successful global vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the Deadliest Pandemic Diseases to Ever Occur?
