The purpose of using poison gas during World War I was to incapacitate, injure, or kill enemy soldiers, thereby breaking the stalemate of trench warfare. It aimed to instill fear and panic among troops, disrupt enemy formations, and create chaos in the battlefield. Different types of gases, such as chlorine, phosgene, and mustard gas, were employed for their lethal effects and ability to cause long-term suffering. Ultimately, while poison gas had a psychological and tactical impact, it also led to widespread suffering and prompted the eventual establishment of international agreements to limit its use.
