Poison GasDuring World War I the Germans began actively using chemical weapons. In 1915 the Germans used this chlorine gas against the French in the battle of Ypres. This was the first big usage of poison gas. After the Germans began to frequently use this, other countries began developing their own. They even began to develop gas masks to protect themselves. Chemical warfare was very popular among the various countries in World War I, but since then it has only been used a handful of times.
