It was noted that World War I soldiers serving in the Western Front were getting sick with some kind of an influenza that included high fever that often was followed by pneumonia. This was before penicillin was in use which made it a real hardship for its victims. The sickness started in the US, then spread fast to the rest of the world. In the early summer of 1918 it hit Spain, and since the King of Spain was the first one to die in Spain, it was from then on called the Spanish sickness or in Norwegian "Spanskesyken" or "Spanska". By 1919 the sickness had spread to most of the world. A total of about 27 millions world wide died from this epidemic in1918 and 1919. | ||
