Chemical warfare

Photos are more than just what 's obviously captured but rather a whole new perspective of a certain time in history. We see photographs everywhere whether it’s in museums or on social media networks like instagram and facebook. Photos are the way we communicate messages to the public whether it’s a good one or a bad one. Not only do photographs have meaning to it but they are created to compensate for the memory that had once happened. It can bring smiles or tears, depending on each individual…

War 1 introduced new ways to engage in battle. There was a bit of learning curve involved as military leaders on both sides attempted to deal with the rapid changing climate of warfare. I found it interesting that military strategies were not afforded an opportunity for adaption in the midst of these changes. Trench warfare consisted of intricately woven trenches that allowed for troops to move between the front lines and three other types of trenches located behind the front lines in a hidden…

Soldiers during WW1 were affected in many ways due to the different kinds of new technology that was used. One of the most important technologies would be trench warfare, in which the soldiers used the trenches in the forefront to protect themselves from the barrage of gunfire, while the trenches that were in the rear were used for storing items they might need such as medical supplies, as well as being used for getting rest. Trench life might have been a safe haven so to speak but was dreadful…

self-sustaining capability to produce militarily significant quantities of chemical warfare agents. In the defense, integrating chemical weapons offered a solution to the masses of lightly armed Basif and Posdoran. Chemical weapons were singularly effective when used on troop assembly areas and supporting artillery. When conducting offensive operations, Iraq routinely supported the attacks with deep fires and integrated chemical fires on forward defenses, command posts, artillery positions, and…

expect. Although biological weapons are overshadowed by nuclear warfare concerns, they were and can be significant threats and assets to America’s national security. Biological weapons are known for their inconspicuousness and effectiveness, yet their lethalness is still overlooked…

Initiative; more recently, debate has focused on the desirability of having a two-theatre capability. There is increasing concern over nuclear proliferation and cyberspace threats, and over the use by rogue states and nonstate entities of chemical and biological warfare and terrorism. 3. The Defense Department has attempted to increase its efficiency by reforming its procurement…

hundreds of years. Since the beginning of time, biological warfare has been a preferred method to annihilate populations at a time. Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, is described as using biological agents like bacteria, viruses and fungi as biological weapons on a large scale to defeat the enemy. The main intention of such is to cause casualties by the medium of air, water, cattle or crops. The history of biological warfare and terrorism goes back to the dawn of civilization.…

that they had fought on. Tanks, mustard gas, and airplanes not only changed the way wars were fought, but they changed many more wars to come. Tanks were first introduced in World War I on September 15, 1916, the tanks were used to combat trench warfare the tracks known as caterpillar tracks gave the tanks a good grip in the mud and allowed them to travel over rough terrain that other vehicles could not. Their heavy armor made them slow but protected the crew from small arms fire…

known as Trench Foot and the after effects of chemical warfare. The horrors of trench life were filled with death in or out of the trenches. The training provided at the beginning of the war was inadequate for the emerging technology at the beginning of the war. The soldiers were trained to ride on the battlefield on horses and charge the enemy with bayonets. The emerging technology in the First World War includes mechanized transport such as tank, chemical weapons like phosgene gas, and…

For years people that express anti-war feelings can be seen throughout media, like in books, news and TV or even through protest. The novel All Quiet on the Western Front written by WWI veteran Erich Maria Remarque is no exception as it delves in the horrors of war through its main character Paul Baumer, a German soldier who fights in the infamous Western Front during WWI while truly questioning if the war is worth fighting. Paul and his comrades face the disgusting conditions of the trenches as…
