The Role Of Chemical Weapons In World War I

1) What was the cause for chemical weapons in World War I?

The use of chemical weapons in World War I were cased by the quickly growing need to end stalemate, periods of time where during warfare there was no action nor movement. This had become increasing popular and occurred often in the western and southern fronts. Stalemate was due to technological developments that favored defensive tactics such a barbed wire. In addition, poison gas was deployed to cause murders on an extensive scale and invade soldiers that would have otherwise not been reachable. An illustration of this would be the dugouts created by soldiers to successfully hide from fire, however the introduction of poison gas allowed troops to reach those hiding in the dugouts
