I watched the Kurgesagt video about smallpox and he gave a explanation by saying that the immune system took control and it eventually kills the virus,but if you can give a more in depth explanation about it becuese the virus was all over the body and it would have been very hard for the immune system to cope with it knowing that it caused so much damage

It takes about two weeks for a proper B cell response to produce high affinity antibodies in great numbers. You need these to *really* clear out very small pathogens like viruses, which for the most part are too tiny for cellular immunity (i.e. T cells, NK cells, etc) to directly sense and kill.
If you can manage to not die before that point, you have a shot at recovering.
