This paper uses a comparative study to examine the surprising similarity of two disasters in 1919 and 2019 with the lens of international relations. This article starts with the background of the two pandemics, both of which are located in Thucydides' trap. Then the paper uses governments' hiding policies and diplomatic battle to picture the common point of both pandemics. Plus, this article examines the effects of both pandemics, which enlarge counties' gaps and speed the growth of extremists.
