The British first used gas in World War I during the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915. They deployed chlorine gas as a chemical weapon against German forces, marking one of the first large-scale uses of gas in warfare. This tactic aimed to break the stalemate of trench warfare by causing panic and disrupting enemy troops. The use of gas ultimately led to widespread suffering and the introduction of protective measures, such as gas masks.
