The 1918 influenza pandemic stands as one of history's most severe viral outbreaks. Lasting approximately two years, from early 1918 to mid-1919, its death toll is estimated to be between 50 and 100 million people globally. This figure starkly contrasts with the estimated 16 million deaths from World War I, a conflict that spanned over four years.
