How was poison gas created?

Answer 1

It killed quickly, efficiently, and silently.

Actually, poison gas was not an efficient killer. Poison gas, in its early development, was not a trust-worthy weapon. As it was released into the air from canisters, it needed a wind which would push it towards the enemy's trenches. If the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, it could harm those who were trying to release it. As the gases were denser or heavier than air, it often found itself trapped in shell-holes. It had a great psychological effect on enemy troops in the beginning, as no one had ever used gas before. However, as methods of detecting the gases became more common, and gas masks were developped, it became a rather ineffective weapon. Even once the opposing armies figured out how to put the gas into artillery shells, it was still only effective over a small area. And yes, while it was silent, it could be detected by its colour.

Answer 2

Gas was such a deadly weapon for soldiers choked on the gas and died. The gas contained certain toxins and, since the soldiers had no gas masks since wwII, Gas became an extremely dangerous weapon
