In the US, we are taught about the Spanish Flu in school. The news mentions the Spanish Flu every year during flu season. Every other epidemic movie mentions the Spanish Flu. There are even documentaries about it.

Without a doubt WW1 overshadows the Spanish Flu, but that doesn't mean it is anywhere close to being forgotten.
