Why did I pick this subject? I choose this because i’m interested in Chemical Warfare during WW1. In this essay you will learn when and why It started, what kind of chemicals they used in bombs and gases, who fought in the warfare, how it affected lives of people during this time, and when it ended.

Russia ( they were the most affected during the war), Germany,and France fought in the war. Including Austria-Hungary, British Empire ( including Canada as well), United States,and Italy were the best know nations to fight in the Chemical Warfare in WWI.

Over 1 million people were affected some of them were very fatal and some were not fatal because they got help in time to stay alive. But still a lot of people were affected by the war.
When did this tragic war end? The Chemical Warfare really didn’t end if you think about it. It is still going on to this very day, from all the threats of nuclear attack in other countries is still like the Chemical Warfare. So we are still sending troops to different countries like we did in WWI. We sent troops to help stop that war from going on. Also it will probably is never gonna end. It probably will go on till 100 or maybe 200 years we’ll never know
