Life expectancy in Spain was below thirty in the year 1880, and over the course of the next 140 years, it is expected to have increased to 83.4 by the year 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased throughout Spain's history, there were several times where the rate deviated from its previous trajectory. The most notable changes were a result of the global influenza epidemic of the 1910s, (called the 'Spanish Flu' as it received more press coverage in neutral Spain, during the First World War) and the Spanish Civil War two decades later.
