Thesis

Chemical and Biological weapons are far more intricate and advanced compared to when they were being used in the medieval period, but the use for them is still the same intention, to kill everything it's exposed to.

Research Question

Why is it necessary to have all these weapons if there are rules against them to never use them for military use.

Poison plant extract on tips of arrows and spears
Boiling tar poured on attacking enemies
Dead bodies in water wells

Gas masks

Battlefield after gas attacks

Geneva protocol
Treaty that banned chemical weapons
Chemical warfare was not as bad as it seemed to be, in the eyes of the germans

Notice how he's not waring a gas mask...

This weaponry keeps being researched
No use, the weapons are banned
Unnecessary to have all this firepower for no use.
