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.
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.
A combination of French territorials and Algerian troops held the line to the left with The british
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.
A Missed German Opportunity Panic-stricken The french and Algerian troops fled in disorder creating a four-mile gap in the Allied line.
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
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.
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
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;
Even so gas victims often led highly debilitating lives thereafter with many unable to seek employment once they were discharged from the army.
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.

To the muhfukkin old Red Japanese army that bombed Pearl harbor and was trying to destroy the US...
@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
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 barracks outside of the cities we would have been able to chose a worthwhile target with far fewer casualties.
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.@
