Influenza Pandemic of 1918?

I am writing a research paper on the spanish flu, but i dont know what i should focus on. any ideas?

Hi C,

There are several possible themes you can look at. The first is the pandemic that occurred in the 1890's that is thought to be the precursor to the 1918 pandemic.

You can also look at the death rates of the age groups. Most of the deaths in the 1918 pandemic were people under 30.

You can also look at the hygiene conditions of the army camps in Spain that may have led to the pandemic.

Hope this helps
