I’ve been reading about the 1918 influenza pandemic in India and how devastating it was, but I’m unsure how historians weigh the different factors behind its spread. How much did troop movements and rail travel matter compared with local conditions such as the monsoon and access to care?
If you know a reliable historical account or primary source on the subject, I’d appreciate a recommendation. I’m especially interested in how researchers distinguish contemporary reports from later estimates.
