In the midst of a particularly brutal civil war international attention focused on the Syrian government's use of chemical weapons against civilians.

Broadly a chemical weapon is a toxic chemical delivered by an explosion such as a bomb artillery shell or missile.

The first chemical weapons used in World war i were released gases from canisters. Today chemical weapons are carried typically liquids in bombs or shells.

World war i saw the first major use of chemical weapons with 124000 metric tons of chemical agent unleashed by nations including the UK Germany and France.'

'Before WORLD WAR II Italy used chemical weapons in Ethiopia and during WORLD WAR II Japan used them in China.

Throughout the Cold war both the Soviet union and the United states developed and stockpiled chemical weapons. While the United states never used them in war a declassified CIA document alleges Soviet use during their invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.

Egypt was the first country to use chemical weapons in war after WORLD WAR II. Egypt joined a civil war in Yemen in 1963 where the Egyptian militarty dropped sulfur mustard bombs on enemy troops sheltering in mountain caves.

Iraq's dictator Saddam Hussein used sulfur mustards and the nerve agent Tabun against Iran in the 1980s during the Iran-iraq war and against the Kurdish people in northern Iraq in 1988.

Chemical weapons appear to have been used against civilians in the ongoing Syrian Civil war between the dictatorial regime of Bashar al Assad and a loose collection of rebel groups.

Syria's chemical weapons stockpile predates the recent conflict. Following a series of military defeats in war against Israel the Syrian government began amassing sulfur mustards sarin and VX (a nerve agent.

Syria could have acquired its first chemical weapons as early as 1973 and publicly admitted to a stockpile in 2012;

a foreign ministry spokesman said the weapons would only be used against foreign intervention. There is! In fact there have been several.

The first treaty banning chemical weapons actually predates their use. At the 1899 Hague Convention signatories agreed to not use Asphyxiating or Deleterious Gases.

Agent orange a herbicide and defoliant used by the United states in the Vietnam war does not count as a chemical weapon under the rules of the treaty

Al Mauroni director of the USAF counterproliferation center in Alabama and author of Chemical Demilitarization:

Army Explosive Ordinance Demolition teams would use a 10-to-1 ratio of explosives to suspected chemical weapons.

however that this dispersal was one of the many factors behind Gulf war Syndrome an illness seen in veterans of the Persian gulf war.

The Army has a mobile chemical weapons disposal unit. The United states has nine chemical weapons sites where America's stockpile of chemical weapons is being disposed.

and Russia owing to their massive Cold war chemical weapons stockpiles. According to Mauroni Russia had 40000 tons at its peak

Weapons of War-Poison gas Considered uncivilised prior to World war One the development and use of poison gas was necessitated by the requirement of wartime armies to find new ways of overcoming the stalemate of unexpected trench warfare.

First Use by The french Although it is believed popularly that the German army was the first to use gas it was deployed in fact initially by The french.

In the first month of the war August 1914 they fired tear-gas grenades (xylyl bromide) against the Germans.

Nevertheless the German army was the first to give serious study to the development of chemical weapons

Initial German Experiments In the capture of Neuve Chapelle in October 1914 the German army fired shells at The french which contained a chemical irritant

Fired in liquid form contained in 15 cm howitzer shells against the Russians at Bolimov the new experiment proved unsuccessful with the tear gas liquid failing to vaporise in the freezing temperatures prevalent at Bolimov.

Introduction of Poison gas The debut of the first poison gas however-in this instance chlorine-came on 22 april 1915 at the start of the Second battle of ypres.

At this stage of the war the famed Ypres Salient held by The british Canadians and French ran for some 10 miles

A combination of French territorials and Algerian troops held the line to the left with The british

During the morning of 22 april the Germans poured a heavy bombardment around Ypres but the line fell silent as the afternoon grew.

Towards evening at around 5 pm the bombardment began afresh-except that sentries posted among The french

and Algerian troops noticed a curious yellow-green cloud drifting slowly towards their line. Puzzled but suspicious The french suspected that the cloud masked an advance by German infantry

and ordered their men to'stand to'that is to mount the trench fire step in readiness for probable attack.

The cloud did not mask an infantry attack however; at least not yet. It signalled in fact the first use of chlorine gas on the battlefield.

Ironically its use ought not to have been a surprise to the Allied troops for captured German soldiers had revealed the imminent use of gas on the Western Front.

Their warnings were passed not on however. The effects of chlorine gas were severe. Within seconds of inhaling its vapour it destroyed the victim's respiratory organs bringing on choking attacks.

For a memoir of the first gas attack click here. A Missed German Opportunity Panic-stricken The french and Algerian troops fled in disorder creating a four-mile gap in the Allied line.

Had the Germans been prepared for this eventuality they could potentially have effected a decisive breakthrough. However the results of their experiment caused as much surprise to the German high command as confusion among their opponents.

German infantry did advance into the gap but nervously and with hesitance. Outflanking the Canadian

and British troops to their right the ensuing fighting was difficult. Although the Germans succeeded in seizing control of a significant portion of the salient the Allies

nevertheless managed to reform a continuous line though in parts it remained dangerously weak. Condemnation-and Escalation The Germans'use of chlorine gas provoked immediate widespread condemnation

and certainly damaged German relations with the neutral powers including the U s. The gas attacks were placed to rapid propaganda use by The british

The attack had one clear benefit at home however for it brought to an end German hesitancy (and disagreement) over its use.

and the use of poison gas continued to escalate for the remainder of the war. Allied Retaliation Once the Allies had recovered from the initial shock of the Germans'practical application of poison gas warfare a determination existed to exact retaliatory revenge at the earliest opportunity.

Raising Special Gas companies in the wake of the Germans'April attack (of approximately 1400 men) operating under the command of Lieutenant-colonel Charles Foulkes instructions were given to prepare for a gas attack at Loos in September 1915.

British Setback at Loos The retaliatory attack began the following morning at 5. 20 am.

A mixture of smoke and chlorine gas was released intermittently over a period of about 40 minutes before the infantry assault began.

and the resultant infantry attack similarly failed. The Need for a New Delivery Mechanism Although it was The british who chiefly suffered on 25 september 1915 all three chief armies-Britain France

and Germany-suffered similar self-inflicted gas reversals during 1915. It became apparent that if gas was to be used a more reliable delivery mechanism was called for.

In consequence experiments were undertaken to deliver the gas payload in artillery shells. This provided the additional benefits of increasing the target range as well as the variety of gases released.

it was adopted consequently by both German and Allied armies. Phosgene often had delayed a effect; apparently healthy soldiers were taken down with phosgene gas poisoning up to 48 hours after inhalation.

The so-called white star mixture of phosgene and chlorine was used commonly on the Somme: the chlorine content supplied the necessary vapour with

mustard gas (or Yperite) contained in artillery shells. Mustard gas an almost odourless chemical was distinguished by the serious blisters it caused both internally

If the war had continued into 1919 both sides had planned on inserting poison gases into 30%-50%of manufactured shells.

The french army occasionally made use of a nerve gas obtained from prussic acid. However three forms of gas remained the most widely used:

The German army ended the war as the heaviest user of gas. It is suggested that German use reached 68000 tons;

It has been estimated that among British forces the number of gas casualties from May 1915 amounted to some 9 per cent of the total

Even so gas victims often led highly debilitating lives thereafter with many unable to seek employment once they were discharged from the army.

Gas never turned out to be the weapon that turned the tide of the war as was predicted often.

and copied by opposing armies in an ongoing cycle. Protection Against Gas The types of protection initially handed out to the troops around Ypres following the first use of chlorine in April 1915 were primitive in the extreme. 100000 wads of cotton pads were manufactured quickly

and made available. These were dipped in a solution of bicarbonate of soda and held over the face.

Soldiers were advised also that holding a urine drenched cloth over their face would serve in an emergency to protect against the effects of chlorine.

By 1918 soldiers on both sides were prepared far better to meet the ever-present threat of a gas attack.

and disgust at the wartime use of poison gases that its use was outlawed in 1925-a ban that is at least nominally still in force today...

#The Robotic Search For Lost WORLD WAR II Airmen Click here to see the galleryon a bright morning in Mid-march Pat Scannon stands on the deck of a 40-foot catamaran looking for an airplane hidden in the waters of Palau

He has spent the past 20 years making annual wreck-hunting trips to Palau about 500 miles from the Philippines to find aircraft that had been shot down during one of WORLD WAR II's fiercest battles planes that may still be holding their pilots His organization Bentprop Project

works to repatriate their remains to the U s. To guide the search Scannon ordinarily relies on interviews with Palauan elders military records

and maps hand-drawn after the war. But on this trip he has a new tool at his disposal.

while helping Bentprop locate WORLD WAR II airmen an effort they named Project Recover. The lead scientist is Eric Terrill director of the Scripps Coastal Observing Research and development Center.

Bentprop could find planes in a tricky marine environment with steep terrain fast currents and coral heads while Scripps tested circulation models and advanced imaging systems.

and after WORLD WAR II broke out it began to shore up its defenses building hundreds of bunkers

and caves to defend the islands from an American attack. General Macarthur who wanted to secure islands to the east as he prepared to invade the Philippines ordered that attack in 1944.

The U s. began with a furious air campaign that was designed to knock out Japanese vessels clustered in Palau's western lagoon

and adjacent harbors and clear the way for an amphibious assault. These people died defending usthat September the U s. Marines landed on the island of Peleliu.

Although they ultimately won that battle it came at a terrible cost: 10000 Japanese and 1700 Americans were killed in action the highest casualty rate of WORLD WAR II's Pacific Theater.

And between the beginning of the air campaign and the end of the war Bentprop estimates 200 U s. aircraft were shot down inside Palau's barrier reef.

Some 40 to 50 planes and 70 to 80 airmen have never been recovered. Scannon a medical doctor and founder of a biotechnology company first visited Palau in 1993 as a recreational scuba diver.

He came with a group looking for a Japanese naval vessel that had been sunk by George h w bush who flew torpedo bombers during the war.

After the group found it Scannon hired a local guide to take him to other wreck sites where he eventually discovered the wing of A b-24.

and active-duty military members to help him search. Combing the jungle and surrounding waters they located debris from more than five dozen aircraft.

It carried 10 to 11 men including a pilot and copilot gunners bombers a radioman and a navigator.

Of the four B-24s Bentprop suspects were shot down near Palau two were found after the war.

the organization notified the Department of defense's Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and the remains of the eight men onboard (three had parachuted out only to be apprehended

Mission photographs from WORLD WAR II show the fourth a Consolidated B-24 Liberator on a path toward the western lagoon.

what heading they were on during the bombing mission and we have very good information about

but their unofficial headquarters is an open-air bar called the Drop off originally built for the production crew of CBS's Survivor:

WORLD WAR II wrecks attract dive tourists and salvagers. The next morning at the coral-reef lab Terrill debriefs Scannon and the Bentprop group.

Flip Colmer a former Navy pilot who now flies for Delta also with Bentprop reaches for the book Floatplanes in Action

There weren't antiaircraft along the ridge. But existing ships that were moored still had antiaircraft.

During WORLD WAR II floatplanes in Palau often flew rescue operations. As they scooped airmen from the water another plane provided cover overhead.

Bentprop knew that two Kingfishers on reconnaissance missions had disappeared during the war and the western lagoon seemed the most likely location for them to have ended up.

It held a 7. 7mm machine gun Scannon later explains to me developed by the Japanese navy.

The high-speed reconnaissance floatplane had a single engine contra-rotating propellers and a center pontoon that could be jettisoned during an attack.

It also had flattened a beaver tail around the vertical stabilizer an aft cockpit machine gun and no wing armaments.

six were brought to Palau for combat testing and all were shot down by U s. forces. Though it isn't an American plane Scannon is pleased with the discovery.

It's a very unusual aircraft one of the rarest archaeological planes you will find he says.

On November 21 1944 a young Marine captain named Carroll Mccullah set off from the American airfield to finish off a Japanese vessel that had been bombed earlier.

Sixty-eight years ago today an American B-29 bomber named Enola Gay dropped Little Boy the first atomic bomb ever used in war on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

Between 90000 and 166000 people were killed by the bomb some in the initial blast and others later through radiation poisoning.

The second below features a line for every person killed by the blast using the first-obtained casualty figures at respective distances from the blast.

Go back and read about how the Japanese defended the islands of Peleliu Iwo jima Okinawa Philippines.

On Okinawa there were close to 105000 defenders-of those 95000 died in combat 2000 surrendered the rest committed suicide.

and children were being trained to defend their homeland-some only with bamboo spears). Even after two atomic bombs were dropped there were Japanese military leaders that wanted to keep fighting.

It brought an end to the war that could have lasted by some estimates 3 more years and cost 7 million more lives.

Fat Man and Little Boy weren't exploded just to satisfy the blood lust of President Truman and U s. military leaders.

but we were in the middle of a long bloody expensive and tragic war on two fronts that affected the entire world.

Viktor E. Frankl who lived through the horrors of a concentration camp said it well in Man's Search For Meaning:

A bloody costly war against people willing to commit mass suicide rather than surrender certainly qualifies as an abnormal situation.

If anyone wants to call the bombing evil be my guest. Provided you have some better alternative that would cost fewer lives fewer civilian lives less collateral damage

If we had been using to use 12 nukes on military targets in the Korean war Macarthur could've obliterated China's ability to defend itself or N. Korea.

Oh plus then we wouldn't have to fight the same war again in Vietnam.

And all the proxy wars fought in Asia backed by Red china wouldn't have occurred. But no nukes=bad.

because people understand all war and all tools of war are evil always forever. Let's let history be the judge of the rightness of using the atomic bomb.

It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over expenditures on armaments and military equipment.

It pays without discussion it ruins itself and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for

Take your All war is evil. quotes and shove them. Aggression is often evil. War is one side defending itself against another aggressor.

Often they're both at fault. But typically one far more than another and particularly in this case one not at all.

In the whole of human history thus far nuclear weapons have been used in anger exactly twice seriously? I would normally would not resort to cussing

For those that say dropping the bombs saved countless American military lives REALLY? So it's OK to kill civilians to protect troops?

WTF? You may feel different if it was your kids or you that was sacrificed. Airshipgirl Laurenra7 Others...

A more simple example would have been A Nuclear Blast Visualized. Hmmm...smell like you may have stepped in some liberal doo doo?

To the muhfukkin old Red Japanese army that bombed Pearl harbor and was trying to destroy the US...

or threats that take the basic freedoms of others. Do not try and bend the spoon.

I don't know how old you arebut apparently you know nothing about what was happening in the world at total war.

Were the children a threat?@@ssilletti If you recall most of our soldiers were drafted. And their civilians were rather fanatical.

Villagers resisted the US troops with bambo sticks. Children had strapped bombs to them. And beyond the resistance to the last man our troops would've faced (that would result in hundreds of thousands

or US casualties and Millions of Japanese'civilian'casualties) the Japanese people themselves vehemently believed that the US troops were berzerking monsters an threw themselves off of cliffs to their death to avoid being captured for fear of torture.

Also we didn't just go for civilian targets. Those cities were prime manufacturing hubs with army barracks steal companies and munition facilities.

It was Japan's fault for interweaving them in their civilian population. So in short-US Soldiers would've been fighting Japanese Civilians

so they aren't civilians. -US Soldiers drafted hard to really rank them above civilian-US suffered perhaps a million fewer casualties less.

Japanese suffered 5 or 20 million fewer dead. -Japan made civilians the targetbut I love how you place an infinite value on life

so that 200000 deaths is equivalent or worse than 20000000 as long as you act outraged enough. What a pathetic bubble you must live in.

A threat to our soldiers and to themselves. As were all of the other children in Japan who were trained to suicide bomb tanks

and attack soldiers with knives and to commit suicide rather than being captured. Killing them stopped the war and saved others.

And again it wasn't just some glory-shot. The target cities were chosen because they were key manufacturing centers that directly supplied the coastal defenses where Operation Olympic was going to land.

and barracks outside of the cities we would have been able to chose a worthwhile target with far fewer casualties.

which by all accounts generating far more total destruction of cities and lives than the nuclear blasts.

This is precisely why America doesn't place military installations inside cities. Because it is unreasonable to expect in any way that you can use your own civilians as hostages to make the enemy not attack.@

Great summary of what you're saying about the concept of America having overwhelming military superiority vs any other nation in history. http://www. youtube. com/watch?

The blast radius is much larger also. If 2-3 nukes were dropped on Japan today most of the entire country of japan would be leveled burned

Those bombs ended the war. Actually the funny (not'ha-ha'but ironic) thing about these bombs is that they were completely unnecessary

if any significance in ending the war. Details here: www. foreignpolicy. com/articles/2013/05/29/the bomb didnt beat japan nuclear world war iimcd Xvice it must suck going through life like that.

A war winning ass-kicking might I add. Until the day comes when humans have evolved beyond religious differences greed idiocy fear

and self-righteousness we will continue to see war. Take your tree hugging anti-american bullshit and shove it up your asses.

Obviously neither of you have ever been in the military. At least we (US) fight for something.

And remember that we didn't attack Japan...they attacked us! Toss that around your brain in your next meditation circle.

and that there is a country in the world that fights for the freedom of the human race.

Because it isn't like there is actual visual footage of the bombing already...my co-worker's mother-in-law makes $87/hr on the laptop.

First we were not the ones that started the war. It wasn't the US that went into Europe and destroyed countless cities.

and killed and murdered millions of Chinese-yeah bayoneting babies in Nanking was something Japanese soldiers loved to do (photos don't lie).

He rarely talked about his time in the war but the one thing he never said was that the US shouldn't have dropped the bombs.

He and many others back then were grateful the war was brought to an end. He hated that he had to do

Go read about the battles of the Philippine islands and Okinawa. Read how the Japanese refused to surrender

You want the world to cry for the Japanese that died from the bombing of two cities?

Then when are the Japanese going to apologize for all the atrocities they committed during the war

U s. Spied On its WORLD WAR II Allies By TIM WEINER***The documents also show that the United states had information suggesting that top members of the Japanese Army were willing to surrender more than three months before the United states dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Since the situation is recognized clearly to be hopeless large sections of the Japanese armed forces would not regard with disfavor an American request for capitulation

even if the terms were hard a German diplomat reported to Berlin after talking with a ranking Japanese naval officer on May 5 1945 three days before Germany itself surrendered.

Passed Up Chain of Commandunited States intelligence analysts underscored this information as they passed it up the chain of command the records show.**

***Just as a possibility is another way to think of this instead of ending WWII is as the first act of the Cold war?

No reason to use such a force right? We already know that we are going to come in

Go hug trees somewhere else until you acknowledge that the US didn't create the sins of man that cause war.

We didn't even start the war. We ended it though. That is not weak. You are fucking weak

General Lemay was the inventor of low level night bombing with incendiary bombs. The firestorms killed more civilians than the two atomic bombs

and destroyed more of the Japanese war machine than the daylight raids which were only hitting about 5%of their targets.

I would have hoped to lure the Japanese Navy and Army to some island area we did need not

and wiped them out. Still I would not really argue in favor of invasion with Operation Downfall (Operations Olympic
