Abstract
In Croatian historiography very little space has been dedicated to the Spanish flu pandemic from the early 20th century. In addition, the article was written at home during a complete lockdown implemented because of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, so the professional literature was largely unavailable. The only support in writing this text were the data available on various websites and a few relevant articles published on Hrčak – the portal of Croatian scientific and professional articles. The result is the article emphasizing the differences observed and even more the similarities between these two pandemics, separated by a century. An adapted version of the text was published in April 2020 on the Facebook pages of the Split Ethnographic Museum, which at that time was the only communication channel for addressing museum users.
