Best Answer

The first "Weapon of Mass destruction" as far as Biological weapons goes back to ancient times when victims of the plague were driven into enemy lands to spread the sickness. Throwing diseased bodies over the walls of a besieged city or dumping them into a water supply were common tactics throughout history.

Chemical Weapons were first used by the German Army on April 22, 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres in World War I. [Note: chemical weapons, e.g. poisons, were used long before WW1. WW1 is the first large-scale use of poison gas.]

The first Nuclear weapons test was conducted on July 16, 1945 in New Mexico. The first Nuclear weapon used in war was used on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945.
