World War I was the first war in which chemical weapons were used.
The Germans and the Allies both used poison gas against their enemies.
The gas choked and blinded its victims. Do you think using chemical
weapons in war should ever be allowed? Explain your answer.
Chemical warfare was inhumane and difficult to control. Much friendly fire occurred when using chemical weapons. It could be slow to kill, and very painful with no fix. Chemical weapons are now banned by the United Nations for obvious reasons.
