There was a catastrophic outbreak of influenza during WW I which was the largest single cause of civilian death. In addition, the war was tremendously destructive, and it disrupted the usual process of farming and food production and distribution, so that there were food shortages, which also served to undermine the health of the general public and make them more susceptible to disease. Civilian deaths during WW I were quite different in nature than the civilian deaths in WW II, when civilians were deliberately killed by psychotic and genocidal regimes. In WW I, they were mostly accidental.
