During WW1, Spain stayed neutral, and then went on to have the "Spanish Flu" named after them. Even though it didn't originate from there, they were just neutral during the war, and had no quarrels in announcing their deaths, while the countries at war didn't wonna announce that their soldiers were dying at a high pace.
