Poison gas in World War I
Loading...
Uploaded by Quemish88 on Feb 14, 2009
The use of poison gas in World War I was a major military innovation. The gases ranged from disabling chemicals, such as tear gas and the severe mustard gas, to lethal agents like phosgene and chlorine. This chemical warfare was a major component of the first global war and first total war of the 20th century. The killing capacity of gas, however, was limited — only 4% of combat deaths were due to gas. Because it was possible to develop effective countermeasures against gas attacks, it was unlike most other weapons of the period. In the later stages of the war, as the use of gas increased, its overall effectiveness diminished. This widespread use of these agents of chemical warfare, and wartime advances in the composition of high explosives, gave rise to an occasionally expressed view of World War I as "the chemists' war".

Mustard gas is also prepare when sulphur mono chloride reacts with ethene and also called beta beta dichloro-ethyl sulphide and this gas is so dangerous it specially attacks on skin so it can also be expire the life and so dangerous 4 life

i think the army should send some divers to this north sea and retrieve those mustard gas containers and re use them against countrys that have demonstrations against us where they burn our flag on tv.

@911sanitarium You can find the solution of your question ... on Wikipedia: just enter the word SARIN.
The most dangerous war-gasses (nowadays) are Sarin, Soman, Tabun, and...VX.
After WW l, the "allies" dropped many thousends of gas-grenades in the Northsea.
Even today, it is forbidden to fish there: the location is just before Heist (Knokke-Heist) only 4 kilometer from the harbour of Zeebrugge, Vlaanderen, (north of Belbium)

hey just a quick question. I'd like to use this video as a part of my history project and I was wondering if that was alright with you? Also, where did you find this video clip/where is it from? THANKS SO MUCH!

Now days we have enough chemical nerve gas to wipe out the planet. Or so people and the history channel say...-.- Anyway the nerve gas we have today can kill you in less than a minute and it takes a VERY little amount of it.
