The use of gas (mustard, chlorine) in WWI was pretty horrific, resulting in large numbers of casualties and considerable danger to the troops who used it. The sheer numbers of casualties in WWI were also pretty horrific, so many countries gathered afterward to agree upon rules of warfare, to prevent such losses in the future. This agreement is now commonly known as the Geneva convention or pact.

Someone whose history knowledge is more specific than mine should edit this for clarity and to add detail.

What were illegal weapons used during war?

Is any weapon illegal in war? Not if someone can rationalize its use in the given conditions and it helps them win such that they can't be tried in a court convened by the winners as war criminals for using it. History is almost always written by the ones who won the war to make them look good and the losers bad. According to the Geneva Convention, which existed before World War I, the uses of chemical and biological weapons were deemed illegal. Therefore, mustard gas, nerve gas, and any other type of similar chemical weapon was illegal. (This did not restrict their use, however, as both sides used notoriously high quantities of these.)

Is war illegal in Canada?

We are peace keepers. War is illegal in every country signed with the UN, therefore unless a declaration of war is issued by the UN it is illegal. No war would break out in Canada- if someone started a war type environment it would be dealt with. The people who live here wouldn't ever start a war as we love our country.
