Does anyone know how the spanish flu got its name

[Sanity Check]

"Every other country is already recovering from the virus."

How can we know this is accurate when news releases on this topic were fake news 100 years ago.

With the integrity of the news media having declined significantly further today.

China is obviously lowballing their stats. What if every country in the world aside from the united states is doing the same.

i read because spain was nuetral in the war and had free press most other countries locked down the news so since spain was telling all the details people assumed in started in spain. people in spain called it the french flu because they thought it came from france

Also other countries only heard about how bad in was in Spain and not their countries because of the war so they started calling it the spanish flu

probably already been answered above, but I don't have time to read that.....

the virus developed in the trench warfare of ww!.

but, as usual, the white man did what he does, ignored/covered it up/ didn't warn about it, and spain, when it got to their country, did the right thing and let people know about it..... as the cowardly germans, french, and british hadn't said a peep about it, they then joined in the rest of the world and called it the spanish flu, under the misperception that it originated in Spain.....
