What time did the spanish flu epidemic occur?

The Spanish inlfuenza was an especially virulent virus that spread across the world in 1918, killing many millions of people. It was likely carried around the globe by soldiers returning from World War I (1914-1918). Both soldiers and civilians may have been made more susceptible by malnutrition -- there were famines in many of the countries where the war was waged. As many as 500 million people became infected, and between 50 and 100 million died.
