Chemical Warfare
            
             The use of chemical warfare did not take a toll till the mid or the first world
            
             War. Chemical warfare was to be considered the most deadly weapon that you
            
             can use against your enemies. Because the death rate was so high there were
            
             many meetings held on the discussion of rather or not countries could use
            
             chemical viruses in war. It was stated in Hague convention of 1899 that there the
            
             use of gas was a barbaric way to kill someone. The convention ended with the
            
             signing of most of the countries from Europe. There were three countries that did
            
             not sign however; one was Italy, U.S and Turkey.
            
             During the year of 1914 trench warfare became a very common way of
            
             battling one another. The German's attacked against Belgium was stalled in
            
             August 1914 because of the trenches. Germany was in a deadlock with Belgium
            
             due to this and the German's wanted to break this by using poisonous gases.
            
             Even though they had got that in mind they did not break the signing of Hague. In
            
             that same month the French used 26-mm gas grenades during their battle.
            
             Although they had no proofs that they were using gases the German's had to go
            
             and retrieve a document to prove their facts. That's exactly what they did in
            
             February 21, 1915. Now that there was proof of the use of poisonous gas the
            
             Germans felt that they had the freedom to use gas in their efforts.
            
             Because allied chemist also had did research on chemical warfare, the
            
             German's knew that they had to work hard to stay ahead of them. Due to not
            
             enough people who were educated enough Germany only employed 2,000
            
             chemist by the end of the war. The rest of the people who worked in the research
            
             centers were students, laboratory technicians, and men from the medical,
            
             engineering, or ordnance branches of the armed services. Even with the small
            
             amount of trained chemist Germany was st...
