このコンテンツについて

"The Silent Scourge: A History of Chemical Warfare," offers a comprehensive overview of chemical weaponry from its conceptual beginnings in the 19th century to modern-day challenges. It traces the evolution of chemical agents, highlighting their devastating impact in World War I with gases like chlorine and mustard gas, and the development of nerve agents during World War II and the Cold War. It also examines attempts at international control through treaties like the 1925 Geneva Protocol and the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, while acknowledging continued illicit use by state and non-state actors. Ultimately, the history underscores the psychological terror associated with these weapons and the political motivations behind their creation despite efforts for global disarmament.
