Chemical warfare in World War I had a significant but mixed impact on the battlefield. It introduced new levels of Horror and psychological terror, leading to substantial casualties and suffering, particularly from agents like chlorine and mustard gas. However, its effectiveness was limited due to factors like the development of gas masks, changing wind conditions, and the challenges of deploying chemicals accurately. Ultimately, while it marked a grim evolution in warfare, it did not decisively alter the course of the war.

Chlorine was first used as a chemical weapon in World War I by the German army on April 22, 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres. This marked the first large-scale use of chemical warfare in the conflict, leading to devastating effects on soldiers and prompting a shift in warfare tactics. The introduction of chlorine gas signaled the beginning of a brutal era of chemical warfare that would continue throughout the war.

Chemical warfare had a devastating impact in World War 1, causing widespread casualties and long-term health effects on soldiers and civilians. It led to the development of gas masks and other protective equipment, as well as the Geneva Protocol prohibiting the use of chemical and biological weapons in warfare.
