The great American cover-up: Did Woodrow Wilson cause the spread of Spanish Influenza worldwide?

The devastating Spanish Influenza of 1918 took the world by storm spreading heavily due to the movement of soldiers across the globe in World War I
UPDATED MAR 18, 2019

The 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic swept across the world aided by the soldiers who moved around during World War I resulting in a death toll of around 21 million to 100 million. There was not enough warning nor information on the deadly outbreak which claimed the lives of over hundreds of millions of people, only to be buried in the past forever.

Up until now, a majority of people believe that the outbreak of the Spanish Influenza started from Eastern Europe after immigrants arrived in the US to work in the limestone mines in 1918. However, modern theory puts forth another view suggesting that the disease started on the prairies of the Midwest in Kansas.
