re: 1918 Spanish Flu 'probably ended WWII"

Trump has stated many times that the Spanish Flu may have led to the end of WWI. There were articles written criticizing him after he made the statements. More American soldiers died from the flu than in any one great battle of the war. A more appropriate statement would have been that if the Armistice had not been signed that ended the war, the Spanish Flu would have had an impact on ending the war. The flu eventually killed more people than all the casualties in the war.
