Biological warfare is war waged with deadly chemicals, biological agents, or radioactive materials (CBR). They can be used to kill large amounts of people, destroy food, or just temporarily stun them for a matter of time so troops can come in and torture them or do whatever troops led by an manipulative tyrant who destroys everything. Using CBR, allowed you to kill everything and leave the buildings standing instead of nuclear weapons which destroy everything, put fallout in the air, and have radioactive
Weapons are an important aspect of warfare. They help determine how the war will go. If one side as better and more technologically advanced weapons, they have an advantage over their opponents. Nations struggle to create innovated weapons or improve old upon ones. Not every advancement is appreciated and respected.

Chemical warfare does not depend upon explosive force to neutralize targets; it depends on the chemical properties of a chemical agent weaponized. Defoliants are an example.They
Records of the implementation of chemicals in battle tactics on a simple scale can be found as early as the Bronze Age.1 However, relatively recent developments in industry have facilitated the production, mobilization, and dissemination of destructive chemical agents. As a result of said technological innovations, the scale of implementation has shifted, resulting in vastly amplified hazards to not just military personnel, but also to the general public.2-3 The Geneva Protocol was enacted in 1925
