During WW 1. 1917-1919. Tear gas and herbicides were used in Vietnam in the 1960s- 1970s.

In addition to the above, the US has used chemical weapons and other weapons with long-term horrendous effects on the civilian population in a war against Iraq and even in other countries. The Iraqi people are living in a poisoned land. The US used uranium weapons and white phosphorus and burned large amounts of chemicals in open pits outside their hundreds of bases in Iraq. This has seriously affected the civilian population of Iraq. Even American Iraq veterans are seriously ill.

Weapons with depleted uranium were previously used during the first Gulf War in 1991. The city of Basra; in Iraq; suffered harshly. Uranium weapons as well as white phosphorus were used by the US against the civilian Iraqi population in year 2004. Many deformed children have been born since then. In many Iraqi cities children suffer from deformities, cancer and other illnesses.

Describe the chemical wiapons used in Vietnam?

By treaty, during the 20th century, chemical/biological weapons were banned (Restricted); During the Vietnam War, the US reserved the right of "First Strike" with nuclear weapons; the US reserved the right to retaliate with chemical weapons; the US would NOT use biological weapons. Other than Agent Orange, and some other possible experimental chemicals; CS gas was the most common chemical weapon used. And there was even raised eyebrows when GI's used that ordnance. The biggest problem facing US Forces in Vietnam, was we didn't want the communists to "Up the Ante." If we used CS gas, then they might say, "well it wasn't really CS, it was some other illegal chemical weapon, so we're gonna use ...this on you...". And the Soviets (Russians) had plenty of chemical weapons to distribute to their North Vietnamese ally.
