Chemical and Biological Warfare
Native Americans Conclusion A. Restate Thesis Statement B. Restate Arguments McDonald 3 C. Final Arguments McDonald 4 Over the years chemical and biological weapons have become more and moor effective. Their main use was in the World Wars. The Germans discovered the weapon known as mustard gas. Mustard gas was a common way to die in World War One. The Germans also were using a chemical weapon known as anthrax. Anthrax and mustard gas were used in small amounts, and the Germans found that it was more beef active and not as wasteful as using it in larger amounts .
In World War Two the Japanese used Heimlich and biological weapons against China during their invasion. The Japan n sees would poison the water in the well. It has been counted that over one thousand ND water wells were poisoned during World War Two. Then the Japanese tried to steal t he notorious virus, Yellow Fever, from a research lab in Rockefeller Center. After the war, the United States started to do open air tests. They used animals and human volunteers. The United States also used unsuspecting United States citizens (Freethinkers). Then in the 1 9705 a new leader came to power in the country of Iraq.
His name s Sadism Hussein. He was a frightening leader. Hussein would kill his own p people because they were not the same type of Muslim that he was. Thousands of pee people were killed by his notorious use of using cluster bombs filled with chemical weapon most effective plan was to bomb the enemy with regular bombs then allow the e enemy to hide in the bunkers. Then Sadism Hussein would drop the chemical bombs, while they were trapped in their bunkers. Many people died this way, hiding in their bun Kerr thinking he was just dropping regular bombs, not weapons Of mass destruction n (Fore).
McDonald 5 Chemical and biological weapons are necessary because they strike fear in the e enemies, effective in their power, and can be used as population control. First, the power of having a large stockpile of chemical and biological weapon a great deal of responsibility. They are necessary though because those who have that power will never be attacked with the same kind of weapons, through the ins Uranus of Mutually Assured Destruction. It is like having a large supply of nuclear weapon ins. The more a country has, the less likely they will be attacked by that kind of weapon nary.
If money does attack them with those kind Of weapons, then they will send a message to the world, “Don’t mess with us! ” (Kramer). These weapons can also cause m casualties, for instance in Syria, in 201 0 and 201 1 . There was some rioting and the president called for a chemical attack. There were many deaths and others w crippled. No one though called for an attack on the president though because feared that he would use those same weapons against them (Bellary van Al Some chemical weapons are easy to make also. In 1995 a Japanese cult called Mum Sonority did an attack in Tokyo in the subway.
They used a nerve gas cal I Saris. In this attack they killed only twelve people, but over five thousand were affect Ted by this nerve agent and they were sickened. The only problem is that the cult didn’t s teal any of these weapons. They made them themselves. They had manufactured this chi amicable weapon all by themselves (Kramer). This means that we could all potentially b e able to make these weapons in our own backyard. Another reason why chemical and biological weapons are necessary to the country’s arsenal is because they are effective in their extreme strength.
One such McDonald 6 weapon called Agent Orange, which is one of the most feared weapons. It has also been known to cause cancer in civilians (George). In World War One the Germ NAS started to use the chemical weapon Mustard Gas. The Germans would load it into the artillery shell and bomb the enemy. The people who survived were permanent TTYL scarred from the nerve agent. Some of the people affected by the mustard gas wish t hat they were killed by because most of their body was either in terrible pain or could not function correctly after being exposed to it (George).
In the sass the Aztec ere conquered by the Spaniards. Cortez, who lead the Spaniards, used biological warfare without even knowing it. He used the smallpox disease. The Spanish were IM menu to the disease, but the native Americans were not. They were wiped out mostly b y the smallpox disease. The chemical and biological weapons can be used for population control. Who the Aztec were being invaded, European diseases spread like a wildfire. The native Americans did not stand a chance because the Europeans brought over germ s from Europe.
The bad thing for the native Americans was that they didn’t have the name immunity to the diseases that the Europeans had. Pizzeria, the Spanish conquer stator, used the same technique to the Incas that Cortez used on the Aztec. Pizzeria did this after he had read about the Aztec not being immune to the European disease sees. Most of the native American casualties when they were conquered were from infer otiose diseases (Lee). This is what the English General Jeffrey Amherst realized in the French and Indian War. The general would send blankets from people who contracts d the disease smallpox to the enemy Indian tribes (Lee).
McDonald 7 Chemical and biological weapons are necessary because they strike fear in enemies, are effective in their power, and can be used as population control. Chemical weapons should be a prevalent weapon in an arsenal because they can wipe out an entire population of a country within days or even hours. The power of chem. cal and biological weapons is what makes people fear the groups or countries that ha eve a huge arsenal of these types of weapons. If we ban these weapons from production, then the terrorists will still make the nerve agents and bombs filled with infectious dies eases.
