    The procedures of a civil war surgeon vary, depending on what side you're on (union or the confederacy), or what knowledge you know such as techniques or an unknown discovery. One technique is putting soldiers asleep when doing an amputation. The surgeons would use chloroform though after the amputation the soldiers would remember everything but would not feel a bit of pain. Later in the war the confederates started to run out of chloroform, a new technique would put one or two drops of chloroform into a sponge and inhale it through a funnel or a tube. Another discovery that was not found out at the time was the germ theory. Neither the union or confederacy knew about germs, going from operation to operation not washing their hands and sticking…

    Warfare is one of the most dangerous, violent and most physically and mentally traumatic atrocities of our world, accounting for hundreds of thousands of deaths and costing nations billions of dollars in supplies, weapons development and other war-time needs every year. In the Twenty-First Century, one of the biggest “frontiers” in weapons development has been the idea of chemical weapons, especially those in the form of weaponized gasses. These weapons, which are defined as an “ammunition or device, specifically designed to cause death or other harm through toxic properties of toxic chemicals.” have the potential to cause an unprecedented amount of harm if their proliferation is not regulated. The presence of these weapons throughout history is all too familiar to many of the world’s nations. Early chemical weapons, such as Chlorine and Mustard Gas were used in World War l and proved to be grimly effective, killing an estimated one million soldiers and civilians over the four year span of the war.…

Without any knowledge of the damage that it can cause, it was spread across the southern part of Vietnam. Aerial Spray used by airplanes and helicopters was how the agent was spread throughout Vietnam. After the spread of the agent throughout the vegetation, there were some side effects that were unknown but later surfaced. This is how Agent Orange played a major role to the Vietnamese and also to the Soldiers. It caused a lot of side effects that not only affected the Vietnamese and their families but also the United States Soldiers that served during the war, and their families. It forced the United States to compensate those who were affected. They only compensated those who could prove they were exposed to the agent. Some of the Vietnamese and their families were compensated but Vietnam is still requesting more compensation from the United States.…

    The Chemical Corps was founded on June 28, 1918. Chemical warfare itself was used in the trenches of WWI. The Germans had used a deadly chlorine gas against the French on April 22, 1915. The US wasn’t involved in the war until 1917 but chemical warfare had already been much more refined and dangerous. This caused President Wilson to make the Chemical Warfare Service as a branch of the military. This made Major General William L. Sibert the first chief of the Chemical Corps. The Chemical corps was almost diminished in 1973 when it was only fueled by a little over 200 soldiers. Then in 1976 when the Soviets started using chemical warfare again congress decided to reverse its decision to eliminate the chemical corps. Operation desert storm brought the Chemical corps back into action and revitalized the corps with gaining size in troops. The corps was ready for the fight against chemical warfare but saw no advantage in using it during that time.…

    The 20th Century War

    • 302 Words

    At the onset of the 20th century, the greatest innovations in warfare were the fully automatic machine gun) and the breech-loading artillery piece. These two innovations were perfected early in the 20th century, and they changed the face of war. Casualties became astronomically higher. Tactics then changed to deal with these new killing capabilities. First came trench warfare to protect infantry. To counter trench warfare, chemical warfare was introduced, and armored fighting vehicles were introduced (tanks). Chemical warfare is interesting in that it's one of the extremely few examples we have of human beings reaching a consensus that it's a weapon that should not be used; its use has been rare since, and universally…
