Chemical warfare as we know it, was really started in World War I. April 22 1915 was considered the first modern use of Chemical weapons. Basically Chemical weapons have been in use for a long time though. Such things as sulfur smoke for example. The one problem that has always existed with Chemical Weapons is the inability to control where they are going. When the Germans first used Chlorine gas back in April of 1915, they were lucky the wind didn’t shift or else they themselves would have suffered the full brunt of the Chlorine gas.
