The Spanish Influenza epidemic in Argentina is a forgotten reality
since up to now
and because of several reasons
it has not been considered as a research object. The truth is that this epidemic produced a high mortality
and exhibited the powerlessness of the State and the medical elite
facing a phenomenon difficult to fight. In this article
a preliminary analysis of its incidence is undertaken
giving an account of the mortality provoked in each Argentinean province and nationwide
its progression throughout the territory of Argentina
the reasons for its whimsical path of development
and the social and sanitary conditions prevailing among the population. Finally
we refer to the policies implemented to combat this epidemic and their social and political impacts. gripe española
