The influenza virus was a strain to which people had no immunity.

Explanation:

The 1918 influenza pandemic (known as Spanish flu) was a pandemic involving the H1N1 influenza virus. This was one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history, resulting in the death of three to five percent of the world's population.

The pandemic had a higher than expected mortality rate for young adults, and there is no consensus as to why this was the case. Some theories establish that the strain was particularly deadly, and that people had no immunity to it. Some others argue that due to the war, malnourishment, overcrowding and poor hygiene were common, leading to worse outcomes for the sick.
