Abstract
The most fundamental starting point of this study is to discover cases of infectious diseases in the past in the process of entering a new era due to the COVID-19 pandemic that mankind is experiencing, to find historical lessons, and to find ways to prevent and overcome the pandemic that may come again.
 The place where the ‘influenza’ began is still uncertain in detail, and the first appearance in the German military was on the Western Front against France. And it suffered the most during the first pandemic. When the first pandemic spread to the military, specific, systematic, and medical responses to the epidemic were not implemented within the German military, and countermeasures were not properly implemented. Due to the first pandemic, the German general offensive on the Western Front in 1918 had to disrupt the mobilization of soldiers. Along with various other events, it appears as the cause of failure. However, it is difficult to say that the ‘1918 influenza’ had a decisive impact on the end of the war.
