But there was no pandemic.

The Central Powers signed armistices. Were they influenced by a non-existent pandemic?

This is a completely mainstream Wikipedia article and I see no mention of any Spanish flu that led to the armistice being signed.

>Wilson wasn’t the same man. He tired easily and quickly lost focus and patience. He seemed paranoid, worried about being spied upon by housemaids. He achieved some of his specific goals but was unable or unwilling to articulate a broader vision for a better world.
>Back in the U.S. that fall, Wilson suffered a major stroke just as opposition to the treaty by isolationist senators gained steam. He died four years later, his vision of a strong League of Nations hampered by the absence of his own country.
Based on no evidence, sounds nothing like the non-existent Spanish flu.

It played a part in the wartime exhaustion. Just having the sniffles drops people's performance.
Also it is acknowledged superinfection killed most people not the flu itself. So were they victim of the flu, or the superinfection they suffered from? They had a compromised immune system to begin with, bad hygiene and malnourishment both in the trenches and back at home tired out people which allowed infection of all kinds. The flu itself was more aggressive tho, we know from the example from countries not at war, like Spain.
