Abstract

The geographical study of diseases and epidemics and their spread in the world from 1918 - 2018 is one of the important studies. These diseases and epidemics are the totals of types of influenza and according to the chronological order, the Spanish flu (1918-1920), the Asian flu (1957-1958), the Hong Kong flu (1968) -1970), swine flu (2009-2010), as well as another epidemic that spread in most countries of the African continent, namely the Ebola virus (1976-2020). The indicators of these diseases and epidemics have been applied, and the degree of their spread and impact has been applied, and the study has included several aspects, the first side: the theoretical framework for research and the second side is the geographical distribution of diseases and epidemics in the world and their economic and social effects. The study concluded that the reason for the discrepancy in injuries among the countries of the world is the commitment of some countries to the provisions of the World Health Organization and its high capabilities, and other countries did not adhere to these provisions due to the situation imposed on them, especially the coincidence of the end of the First World War with the outbreak of the Spanish flu epidemic, and therefore the movement of fighters from The battlefield to the country to which they belong, as happened when the soldiers moved from the areas of operations to America, and they transmitted the Spanish flu epidemic after they were infected with it. ‏
