Throughout history, humans have tinkered with various types of chemical weapons. In ancient times, they used poison arrows to kill their enemies. The Spartans may have ignited various combinations of flammable materials to create toxic smoke that killed opposing soldiers. And in the 20th century, of course, scientists took chemical warfare to horrifying new lows, allowing armies to loft incredibly dangerous concoctions to incapacitate their entrenched foes. In this truly noxious quiz, what do you know about chemical weapons?
Even before the 20th century, many nations had agreed not to use chemical weapons in war. Why? Because these types of weapons often cause the kind of intense and lingering suffering that even bombs and bullets cannot. Sometimes, troops (and innocent civilians) will encounter terrible blisters, blindness, paralysis and choking, all caused by modern chemicals. What do you know about the effects of these modern menaces?
In spite of the suffering they cause, most advanced nations keep a stockpile of these chemicals on hand … just in case. And although the U.S. has reduced its supplies of chemical agents, it still has plenty in its arsenal should another country decide to leverage these scary tools. From mustard gas, to sarin, to phosgene and VX, what do you really know about chemical weapons?
